Offline Wikipedia on mobile devices?
by Jimmy Wales 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

I'm particularly interested in availability of Wikipedia on memory cards and the like. This is for a relatively small language, so extremely large size isn't the issue. I'm wanting to know if there is a way to distribute Wikipedia in a small language on memory cards for android phones. This is for people for whom data service is not available or cost prohibitive, and who may not have access to a computer for transfer. Physical distribution of cards is something that could be done. --Jimbo

[IDEA] Sharing Place
by Emmanuel Engelhart 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi We currently spread our offline content mostly online. In the case of ZIM files, many of them are really huge. I received today a feedback from Kiwix user in Spain who has downloaded the full WPES ZIM file (~10GB) over many weeks... at the end he has discovered that in the meantime we had released a new version of this file. He was obviously a little bit frustrated. What do you think about the idea of providing an online share-platform for ZIM files. A small Web site allowing people to: * announce that they have a file and are ready to give/copy it for someone * provide a solution to find thus people with a map * provide a solution to bring provider and searcher in touch Remarks? Does someone knows a software which maybe already does that? Regards Emmanuel

dev-l and offline-l mailinglists merged
by Manuel Schneider 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Dear all, thanks to the WMF ops team who helped us consolidating the offline lists: dev-l(a)openzim.org, a low-volume list of openZIM developers has been merged with offline-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, a low-volume list of general offline-related talk of Wikimedia. Most announcements have been cross-posted between both lists anyway in the past. The list archives have been merged as well and can be found here now: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/offline-l/ While openZIM started as a stand-alone project run by enthusiastic Wikimedians it became an integral part of the Wikimedia Offline projects in the meantime. This merge is another step in focusing efforts and build a common infrastructure. Regards, Manuel -- Regards Manuel Schneider Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge www.wikimedia.ch

qvido, a qt based offline zim reader
by Yuvi Panda 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hello everyone! There was a Chennai Unofficial Wikimedia Hackathon[1] that happened a few days ago in Chennai. One of the projects that one of the volunteers took on was getting qvido[2] (a super light weight offline zim reader built for embedded devices) to build and run properly. He managed to do so, and the code (along with build instructions) can be found here: https://github.com/feroze/qvido Suggestions on taking this further? I'm cc'ing the awesome volunteer (feroze) involved in the hack. Thanks!

help request
by Adam Wight 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, If I can re-open this thread, I am very interested in moving towards a read-write offline platform. After helpful feedback from people in this community, I have decided to start two wikis in the hope of a collaborative implementation, (content transcluded below) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Offline_Editorship http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Offline/Wiki ============== Motivation Offline reader software packages lack the ability to edit. The wiki concept should not be abandoned even in this seemingly marginal use case. Collaboration becomes possible from any remote situation, really interesting applications include a small community's school contributing back to Wikipedia, or scientists who use a wiki to coordinate their work. Strategies Note that these approache are exclusive. * Browser-based editing saves to an HTML5 cache * Alternative to mediawiki page rendering * Edit mode for Kiwix =========

Forwarding this information about ZIM reader Kiwix, which is the reader commonly used for the Offline Wikipedia projects. Many of you on these lists I know have connections to both OLPC and/or Offline Wikipedia, so I thought that you might at a minimum interested in the update and hopefully also interested in helping test! Best wishes to all - Jessie ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Emmanuel Engelhart <emmanuel(a)engelhart.org> Date: Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 11:17 AM Subject: [Kiwix-testing] [KIWIX] New version of Kiwix for Sugar To: "kiwix-testing(a)lists.sourceforge.net" < kiwix-testing(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, olpc-france(a)lists.laptop.org Dear testers, we finally have fixed the big bug impacting loading of ZIM files with 0.8x versions of the OLPC OS. So, Kiwix should work now and be able to load any ZIM file. No bug anymore concerning Kiwix on Sugar is still open on our side. Please test the last version and give us a feedback: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/fr/sugar/addon/4483 Build your own small custom ZIM file there: * https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Livre * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book If everything still runs fine, we plan to introduce pre-packaged .xo files (Kiwix+content) during the summer.

[openZIM dev-l] WikiOnBoard 2 released to Nokia Store
by Christian Pühringer 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

Hi all, WikiOnBoard 2 is now available in Nokia Store. (http://store.ovi.com/content/148305) Visit the wikionboard website (http://cip.github.com/WikiOnBoard) for screenshots. New in WikiOnBoard 2 * Improved user interface * New library view allows easy switching between different Wikipedia offline versions stored on your phone * Split-screen virtual keyboard in article search * Forward in history added to article view * Fix: On some mobile phones it was not possible to open a file. While this apparently was a problem with the phone's configuration and not a bug in the app, it should not occur anymore as file selection is implemented differently. WikiOnBoard 2 only supports Symbian^3mobile phones, such as Nokia N8, C7, 500, 603 or 701. For older mobile phones, such as Nokia 5233, WikiOnBoard 1 stays available in Nokia Store. Thank you for your support, which made this possible.
