[openZIM dev-l] cpu usage on kiwix-serve, ubuntu lucid alpha4
by Andy Rabagliati 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Folks, Today I installed lucid alpha4 on my laptop, and pulled kiwix version 1282 from subversion. I had to change Depends: for kiwix to liblzma1 (from liblzma0) to get it to compile, which it did without any trouble. Some selected package versions :- Package: xapian-tools Version: 1.0.18-1 Package: xulrunner Version: 1.8.1.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 Package: libunac1-dev Version: 1.8.0-2 Package: liblzma-dev Version: 4.999.9beta+20091116-1 Package: libunac1 Version: 1.8.0-2 Package: libltdl-dev Version: 2.2.6b-2ubuntu1 kiwix-serve (with index) runs, but after the first access cpu load rises to 100%. Do I need to pull a newer version of any of these packages ? Cheers, Andy!

Hi Andy, thank you very much for your feedback, this positive one motivates me. This is the first time I heard about a successful installation of kiwix-serve in a school local network. I have open two feature requests: * daemon mode: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2961214&group_id=175508&at… * verbose mode: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2961216&group_id=175508&at… I will try to work on that during the next days. In the worth case this will be implemented until the end of the month. I have also seen you made a blog post here: http://blog.wizzy.com/post/Kiwix-install-at-Kwena-Malapo-school-Johannesberg I try to build a planet to aggregate experiences related to Kiwix from different people in the world: http://planet.kiwix.org This is nothing big, but hope this may help people to make choices and find the best solution for their concrete problems. If you are agree, I would be happy to add you to their (please create a kiwix category/tag in this case). Regards Emmanuel PS: Small fix for you article: I do not work for Linterweb and Linterweb has not been working on Kiwix since more than a year. They also do not have prepared the WP1 0.7 ZIM in English. This is my work.

I installed this at a farm school near Johannesberg last saturday. They have a small network of 22 Windows XP computers installed in a converted container - the container was supplied by Rotary International, with a door and 4 windows and roof ventilation added. They have no internet. I put down a linux server, installed the zim file, kiwix-serve and the necessary extra debs, and a startup script run from init.d. I had to write a script to background kiwix-serve, as I saw no daemon mode. I also redirected a chatty stdout to /dev/null. I am a bit behind with svn updates, so apologies if these have already been added. I attach a couple of pics of the school - sorry I have none of the inside of the container. http://wizzy.com/images/farmschool.jpg http://wizzy.com/images/farmschool2.jpg Cheers, Andy!

[openZIM dev-l] Alpha version of kiwix-serve, an HTTP server for ZIM files
by emmanuel＠engelhart.org 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Hi everybody, I want to announce here I have finished a first version of kiwix-serve. kiwix-serve is an HTTP server able to serve any ZIM file an providing the same search engine as Kiwix (like most of you knows based on Xapian). It's base on libmicrohttpd library. This is not as sophisticated and efficient as our zimreader but It works well and I hope it is at least as easy to deploy. Hope also with it to be able to provide easily many of the Kiwix features. You may have a look on two instances of it: * WP0.7 : http://library.kiwix.org:4201/ * 2008/9 Wikipedia Selection for schools : http://library.kiwix.org:4202/ If you want to try it, please follow the next instructions... each feedback is welcome: * download&compile&install Kiwix: http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Compilation * download a ZIM file (new format)... you know where ;) * index your file: kiwix-index [ZIM_PATH] [INDEX_PATH] * start kiwix-serve: kiwix-serve [ZIM_PATH] [PORT] [INDEX_PATH] You may also run kiwix-serve without index, but in this case you won't have access to the search engine.

[openZIM dev-l] Dev.Meeting Report, Budget 2010, LinuxTag 2010
by Manuel Schneider 06 Feb '10

06 Feb '10

Hey there, I've got quite a long list of things to discuss with you: == Developers Meeting 2009-2 == * http://openzim.org/2009-11-23_Report_Developers_Meeting_2009-2 The report for the our 2nd Developers Meeting that took place in the end of November 2009 is finally ready, at least I regard it as being ready. Please revise it and make changes where needed. == Yearly Report 2009 == * http://openzim.org/Yearly_Report_2009 At the Developers Meeting in November we agreed to write a report on what we did in 2009 and send it to our sponsors and supporters which are Wikimedia CH and the Wikimedia Foundation. If the report above is good I will start compiling a report from the press releases and individual reports we have published for 2009. As you see I have already created a structure for the report, so feel free to fill in any information you have to help completing it. == Budget 2010 == * http://openzim.org/Budget_2010 I have started to plan for a budget in 2010, based on our requirements. Last year we applied for sponsorship at Wikimedia CH and made up a roughly estimated budget as we didn't had any experience and figures we could rely on. This year is different, we have gained experience on the growth and requirements of our meetings we already had. So my approach is to calculate the requirements to host two Developer Meetings in a professional venue for ten attendees. I have sent inquiries for quotes, so we will have professional meetings and some room in the budget to be able to fully concentrate on our work. Once the budget is ready I will ask several organisations for sponsorship, as Wikimedia CH and the Wikimedia Foundation. My hope is that Wikimedia CH will cover the most part while the Wikimedia Foundation supports us with one of their community grants. Please feel free to discuss the budget here or on the wiki and bring up your thoughts and ideas. == LinuxTag 2010 == * http://openzim.org/LinuxTag_2010 LinuxTag 2010 will take place on June 9th - 12th again in Berlin. Tommi and I have applied for a booth and we are looking forward in getting a shared booth as last year for both openZIM and tntnet. This year we also handed in a paper for a talk we want to give on openZIM together. If you have any ideas or opinion, just let us know or add them to the wiki page. And of course we like to invite all of you to visit our booth or even help at the booth for a day or as long as you can. This is also a good opportunity to have something like a small Developers Meeting during the exhibition. LinuxTag is also a valuable opportunity to meet with other activists in the FOSS movement and start new cooperations and partnerships, such as Linux4Africa or SkoleLinux which will have their booth there as well. We try to get a booth near those interesting projects. Please participate. Just add your name on the list in the wiki, I will book accommodation for all us in the same hotel and take care of a good rate. == MediaWiki Developer Meet-Up 2010 == * http://openzim.org/MediaWiki_Developer_Meet-Up_2010 Just new is the call for the MediaWiki Developer Meet-Up which took place last year for the first time. I have been at the Wikimedia Conference (aka. "Wikimedia Chapters Meeting") which was taking place in parallel, but I still meet the participants of the Developer Meet-Up at dinner and at the party after the conference. Our contacts to the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia Israel and Wikimedia Italia have been made there. I don't know yet if I have time to be there, but I recommend everyone who is interested to come there. Just sign up at the wiki page. I am pretty sure that Tomasz Finc will be there as well as part of the Wikimedia Developers team. Last year the meeting took place in the famous c-base in Berlin, a very special place perfect for such events. Wikimedia Deutschland took care of accommodation in a nearby hostel, breakfast, lunch and even day passes for the local transport for all participants, all for a decent fee (100 EUR). I hope and guess it will be handled the same this year. -- This was a lot of information and I am happy to finally managed to share it with you. Thanks for reading through all of it. Until the end of February I will be traveling all over Europe and hardly have time to take care about everything. So please go ahead and alway remember: It's a wiki! Have a great weekend! /Manuel -- Regards Manuel Schneider Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge www.wikimedia.ch

My issue concerning Mediawiki is really simple: I do not get support from the WMF concerning the DumpHTML extension. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&order=Impo… We can make an extension to build directly a ZIM against a Mediawiki but this extension will stay mandatory to make specific things.... so this is essential to have support there. I have also discovered 2 weeks ago that the problem seems to be exactly the same with mwDumper... mandatory to work with WMF XML dumps: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22137 Regards Emmanuel

This might be interesting in the perspective of implementing the ZIM export in MW and of course for marketing openzim. I can't yet promise that I will attend, but I will try to. And don't forget that whe have planned to have our next dev meeting in April as well, but maybe we can * combine those two meetings * shift it a bit Please state your opinions. /Manuel -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Wikitech-l] Developer Meet-Up in Berlin, April 14-16 Datum: Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:12:21 +0100 Von: Daniel Kinzler <daniel(a)brightbyte.de> Hi all Wikimedia Germany invites all MediaWiki developers, Toolserver users, Gadget hackers, and other people interested in the technical side of Wikimedia projects to come to Berlin for a Developer Meet-Up on April 14.-16. Last year's meet-up in Berlin was a great success, and we hope to make it even better this time! This year we want to focus on structured (meta) data, search, and community building. The future of the Toolserver will also be a subject. The dates are set, but it's not clear yet if we start full throttle on Wednesday the 14th or if we have just an arrival event on that date and a full day on Friday the 16th instead - this depends on venue arrangements that are not sorted out yet. Note that registration in advance will be required - a website will be set up for this soon, we will announce it on blogs and mailing lists. On that Friday, April 16., the Wikimedia Chapters and Board start their convention in Berlin. This will be a great opportunity to meet, to discuss interesting topics, to network and to exchange ideas and thoughts! Wikimedia Germany will host the event, so we will organize the venue, the hotel(s), some fun things to do in Berlin, food & drinks and lots of other things - and there might even be a party at the c-base again... See you in Berlin! -- Daniel Kinzler _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[openZIM dev-l] Vido
by Mirko Lindner 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hey there, I just wanted to give you a little progress report on vido [1]. After the openzim developer-meeting [2] quite a few changes were made to the format to allow the usage of zim files even on limited devices such as the Ben NanoNote. Last night, after finally finding the right file, I managed to get the full german wikipedia (without images) to run nicely. The file is on the openzim server in their download section[3]. There are quite a few neat functions in vido. Please be patient with it, responses are not instant, but it does what you ask it after 1-2s at the most. There are still a few quirks here and there. Scrolling is not optimal, the way links can be selected deserves another look etc etc. But the foundation works. One word abotu the zim files. Currently there are only german wiki files that have been tested. I will dive into the mechanism of creating other zim files as soon as I get back from FOSDEM. I have been told there is a process for that already, but it is not well documented. We are also in talks with the Wikimedia Foundation and other wikis to get them to publish wiki files themselves. If anyones feels like diving into the code to make it better, faster, nicer please go ahead. Just contact me for git access and such. Once again a big yay for the openzim project! Ok, here a small list of what vido can do: - open and display contents of a zim file (on the console): vido [PATH TO FILE] - get a random article (in vido): ctrl + r - search for an article (in vido): ctrl + s - go back to last article (in vido): ctrl + b - go to next article (if you went back before) (in vido): ctrl + f - display your history (in vido): ctrl + h - go to top (in vido): ctrl + t To move through links in an article use TAB. If you only want to scroll use the arrow keys. Note: If you scroll the cursor doesn't move, which means that if you tab after you scrolled for a while the display will go back to the last link you selected. /mirko [1] http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/vido/ [2] http://openzim.org/Developer_Meetings/2009-2 [3] http://openzim.org/ZIM_File_Archive
