128 Gb versions of IIAB
by James Heilman 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hey All. Have started producing 128 Gb versions of Internet-in-a-Box. What they contain is all of English Wikipedia (77 Gb, version from a month ago) plus all of one of Arabic, Spanish, French, or Portuguese WP. French may or may not include pictures. Cost of manufacturing is about 50 USD. Further customization is possible after getting the device. Plan to gradually increase production based on demand. -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian

Creating an offline-wiki user group
by Samuel Klein 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

A few of us met to discuss offline roadmaps and challenges today, and noting that no user gropu exists [and that other overviews of offline projects on Meta are a bit out of date] we started a user group. This is a very low-overhead group to provide a name for the network of all offline projects. Please add links to your own active projects from this page. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_wiki_user_group SJ

offline-wiki is back!
by Samuel Klein 07 Aug '18

If you remember the old offline-wiki google site, it's been rewritten and is back online. I met Kevin, its maintainer, at the DWeb summet last week: he's still thinking deeply about these things. [elsewhere at the event we talked about effective ways to distribute incremental updates to knowledgesets like this; something that should be connected to the related thinking withink kiwix :)] https://offlinewiki.app/ SJ
