Following are the bugs I really want to focus on. But if you don't see your bug here, then check out the etherpad: http://hexm.de/5l If it isn't listed there, send me an email and I'll try to make sure that it gets attention. (FWIW, I hope to have a list of bugs ready for a sprint this weekend based, mostly, on the Collection extension.) http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/30326 -- PDF export extension doesn't support some characters in Arabic script http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/19830 -- PDF prints don't join Arabic letters properly http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28206 -- PDF generation does not support Complex Script Wikis http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/30437 -- change the Hebrew default font to Taamey Frank CLM http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/27462 -- <noinclude> showing in PDF http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28060 -- Collection extension should not add chapters in reverse order http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/30503 -- template exception for book maker (pdf export) http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/26330 -- collection contents lost when only loading js via https http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/24512 -- Collection uses curl_*() functions instead of Http::*() functions http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28118 -- The path to images https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/30511 -- Collection extention should place time stamp of revision extracted into the offline file http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/30199 -- ZIM external links should be always marked as external.... or removed Happy hacking!

Re: [Offline-l] Arrangements for Wikimedia Offline Session today

Dear Jessie, I am sorry for responding almost more than a week late as i had been mostly traveling and attending a series of meetings. I wish I could responded little earlier. We distribute free computers (all based on GNU/Linux, currently on Ubuntu), and from last two years, laptops, to meritorious students of the State of Assam (India) who secure >=60% marks in the 10th standard examination. Every year about 15-20,000 systems are distributed. So far, we have distributed 92,000+ system, and this year about 19000+ students are about to get benefited. The current year's scheme is scheduled for launch on the 23rd of September, 2011. Along with Ubuntu we bundle a host of application software and content for the benefit of the students. Mostly, so far we have ben very successful in providing rich application level content for science students. There has been carry home stuff for students who are aspiring to become economists, historians, psychologists, anthropologists, English literature etc.. Further, broadband penetration being poor in the remote areas of the state (a survey tells that 58% of the recipient students belong to remote areas and come from poor families), we have been thinking how we could provide wiki kind of content to the students offline on the laptops to be distributed. We shot an email several months back, and it has generated lot of enthusiasm. However, my programme is to start from the 23rd of September, 2011. I am not sure whether, this year also we shall be able to provide some offline content. As a language, ENGLISH is okay. We can think of translation at a later date. Pl tell us how to proceed further on the issue. We have now very little time to organize...

So which time is the triage > after all? :) Argh! To make matters worse, I have it as 1600UTC on the internal WMF calendar. I've no idea why there are three different times. Since I've got 1600UTC on the internal calendar, let's make it that time. I'll watch #wikimedia-dev and let anyone who shows up early know about the change.

[BENCHMARK] ZIP/EPUB vs ZIM
by Emmanuel Engelhart 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi, at Wikimania they were a few discussions about the pertinence to push ZIM, especially if you think EPUB is already really good supported, it's also open, it's also compressed, etc. I made (again) a small benchmark to try to convince the last people who are skeptical. Here is an example with Simple English Wikipedia without pictures: * Raw content 125342 HTML pages 1.4 GB * ZIM 93 MB Access time of article "Wikipedia" (HTML only) = 0.012s * ZIP 331 MB Access time of article "Wikipedia" (HTML only) = 0.035s Additional infos: * ZIP random access time is proportional to the count of files, with 3 more HTML files, accessing the same content takes 0.113s (so almost x3) * Please keep in mind that the test were ran on a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU X 980 @ 3.33GHz * They are no images here... which are often bigger and which would be re-compressed unnecessarily and so bigger in a ZIM * Articles with 20-30 images are common. * Benchmark was made with not so much files... The French Wikipedia has many millions of files I let you take the conclusion by yourself ;) Regards Emmanuel
