Hi, I just wanted to inquire: is the WMF aware of Worldreader? (http://www.worldreader.org/) I think they are an organization worth reaching out to for a potential partnership. SincerelyAbbas.

[Wikipublish] A Wikimedia publication platform?
by Emmanuel Engelhart 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Hi, Gerardm has released within the last week two blog posts about our weakness to publish and advert ready-to-use offline "books": * http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.fr/2012/06/wmdevdays-finished-book-source-t… * http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.fr/2012/06/publishing-final-versions.html I share his concern: we should IMO elaborate a plan/agenda to setup a publication platform (something like itunes for example)... and you? Regards Emmanuel

dev-l and offline-l mailinglists merged
by Manuel Schneider 01 May '12

01 May '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

Write about Wikipedia Zero!
by Samuel Klein 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Wikipedia Zero is starting to get more attention recently. We could use set of funny / beautiful / amazing images of it in use, and a compelling overview page to send people to that mentions how to can spread the word / get their local distributors or politicians or schools on board. Then we should run a little viral publicity campaign. It's really a very sexy project. We could frame it as something universal: "free access to Wikipedia on all mobile devices and networks." This seems to be the main project page for now, so I've been encouraging people to link to it in their posts. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Zero SJ -- Samuel Klein identi.ca:sj w:user:sj +1 617 529 4266

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

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!
