presenting offline at Wikimania
by Anne Gomez 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hey offliners, The New Readers team is discussing what we want to present at Wikimania. We think a session around what's happening in offline could be interesting. Would any of you like to collaborate on a session? The deadline is next week (March 30). For more information: https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions <https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions>Thanks, Anne -- *Anne Gomez* // Reading Product Manager, New Readers <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Readers> https://wikimediafoundation.org/ *Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment. Donate <http://donate.wikimedia.org>. *

Wikimedia content offline: industry map
by Anne Gomez 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Hello! The New Readers team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been digging into how Wikimedia content is used offline globally and wanted to share with this list. We've gathered what we know of what's out there (though surely there are more) and examined how the different solutions fit together and how they serve user needs for offline content. In the meantime, we're also developing use cases for the different products, types of content, and features. We plan to combine these analyses together to inform our future work and will share as we go. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/Offline_Industry.pdf We know there's loads more to learn - so please share if you have thoughts, critiques, or additions. I'll keep an eye on this thread or you can find us on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Readers Thanks, Anne -- *Anne Gomez* // Reading Product Manager, New Readers <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Readers> https://wikimediafoundation.org/ *Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Re: [Offline-l] [MediaWiki-l] Convert mediawiki to static website question
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 10 Mar '17

This is a use case worth covering for any CMS, in my opinion. Currently when one doesn't want to maintain a CMS any longer I'm forced to tell them to crawl with wget-warc/wpull (possibly via ArchiveTeam), submit to Internet Archive and then somehow redirect users. Few CMS seem to care about it though. In practice the only "official" solutions we have are: * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DumpHTML + any webserver * http://www.kiwix.org/ + kiwix-serve (mwoffliner via Parsoid) From https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T17017 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93396#1136904 , it seems WMF has no interest in providing a static HTML format which is directly usable.

Fwd: Divide XML dumps by page.page_namespace (and figure out what to do with the "pages-articles" dump)
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Input requested: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-January/087393.html , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99483 Personally I think that the main issue is the slowness of some of the tools people use (including dumps.wikimedia.org itself), so I tried to improve the docs a bit with what I learnt: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/Download_tools#Downloading_the_X… * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps#Faster_archives_and_servers Nemo P.s.: In the last few weeks I archived 20+ TiB of Wikimedia Commons files on Internet Archive and I'm continuing, see http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Commons .

Happy New Year to you all, and no apologies for cross-posting! The 2016 annual report for Kiwix is out and you can check it out online here [1] or offline (pdf) [2]. In a nutshell so you don’t have to click: - More than a million downloads from 200+ countries and territories (including Antarctica, apparently); - Wikimed went global; - 80% of our volumes are in the Global South. But if you DO click: you’ll get a sneak peek at what we’re preparing for 2017. Also: a big thanks to folks at the Foundation and Wikimedia CH for their support.

XOWA write up
by Jon Katz 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hey, I just heard about XOWA <http://xowa.org/index.html> via a lifehacker article <http://lifehacker.com/xowa-makes-it-easy-to-download-wikipedia-for-offline-…>. I haven't seen XOWA mentioned on these lists too much (it hasn't had a subject line on "Offline-l" in over 2 years), so thought it was worth highlighting its existence and checking in. Is there anyone who works on XOWA who would be willing to share any feedback on adoption or known use cases? I was just talking about offline desktop with Anne G. and we were speculating as to where and when this was valuable. Best, Jon
