Re: [openZIM dev-l] LinuxTag - booth applied
by Manuel Schneider 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Dear Friends! LinuxTag will take place on June 24th to 27th. As I have informed you earlier on this list we have successfully applied for a booth there. Now we have to plan our attendance there. Please see our planning page: http://openzim.org/LinuxTag_2009 Put yourself on the list, indicating when you plan to be there. I will have to order exhibitor tickets in advance for you and organise accommodation. Please also state if you agree with sharing a room or if you want to have a single room. I will try to book at Sunflower Hostel which is quite nice and cheap (near S Wahrschauer Strasse / Ostbahnhof). But we will have to book asap as the rooms might already be occupied (remember: A lot of young people are getting to Berlin during LinuxTag, looking for cheap accommodation). If you want to bring something for the booth (notebook, something to show...) please list it in the Material List and help us defining contents we want to see on our posters and Flyers. Also give your vote if we should get T-Shirts or not. Thank you for your quick response, Manuel -- Regards Manuel Schneider Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge www.wikimedia.ch -- Regards Manuel Schneider Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge www.wikimedia.ch

Hi, I will be a little bit late at home this evening, but I will do it today. Otherwise, simply copy the stuff I have done and integrate Tommi's work. The last version I have of the DVD cover was uploaded to the wiki.

[openZIM dev-l] packages sources for DVD
by Tommi Mäkitalo 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, I packaged the sources for the DVD. It is better to make a dist package instead of just exporting the svn. To build from dist package you do not need autoconf and automake installed. The configure script is part of the package. Here are the urls for downloading the source packages: http://www.tntnet.org/download/cxxtools-1.99.4.tar.gz http://www.tntnet.org/download/tntdb-1.0.99.tar.gz http://www.tntnet.org/download/tntnet-1.6.99.tar.gz http://www.openzim.org/download/zimlib-0.90.tar.gz http://www.openzim.org/download/zimreader-0.90.tar.gz http://www.openzim.org/download/zimwriter-0.90.tar.gz And the statically build ZimReader: http://www.openzim.org/download/ZimReader I write a README file how to build the sources today evening.

[openZIM dev-l] [NEW ZIM] ~30.000 articles from Wikipedia in Italian
by emmanuel＠engelhart.org 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hi I have released a new ZIM file with ~30.000 articles (text+thumbs) in Italian. http://tmp.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_it_kiwix_30000+_06_2009_alpha2.zim This should allow Frederico to test with a little bit more articles as 1000 (unlike the last time). I have in addition put a footer to each article about license, history, etc... A few bugs and feature request are still open and part of them will be again fixed in the next release with this time ~80.000 articles. I have also released the beta3 of Kiwix 0.8 fixing a few issues and integrating the UI Italian translation (translation by Frederico). http://tmp.kiwix.org/bin/kiwix-0.8-beta3+xulrunner.tar.bz2 I have also started to work on the Windows porting and it looks until now pretty good for the Kiwix part (everything but not libzim). About libzim porting, we will have in two weeks a dev. meeting in Berlin, and I think this will be a topic we should discuss. Enjoy testing! Emmanuel

Tommi Ok, the situation is more or less the same on my side: * I have released the first betat of Kiwix 0.8 yesterday : http://tmp.kiwix.org/bin/kiwix-0.8-beta1+xulrunner.tar.bz2 * A new optimized released of the ZIM file in english : http://tmp.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_en_wp1_0.7_30000+_05_2009_alpha6.zim This is not perfect... but should be functionnal and without big bug. For this reason, I think these releases are the one for the LinuxTag DVD (if we have enough place for the ZIM). Questions: * What is the deadline for the ISO? * Where is the architecture of the DVD? * Do we have to upload something ? where? Regards Emmanuel

Re: [openZIM dev-l] Wikimania 2009 acceptance letter
by Manuel Schneider 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Dear Wikimania Program Committee, thank you for your interest and trust. I am glad to inform you that I will participate at Wikimania 2009 and am looking forward to hold this talk. Some more indepth information for you and the reviewers: * since April openZIM is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, creation of ZIM files is currently being integrated into the regular dumping process by Tomasz Finc * openZIM takes the content portion of the article's HTML and stores that, without the "skin" around. The skin can be placed separately inside the ZIM file and used by the reader when displaying articles, or the reader comes with its own skin. This is better than using database dumps because there is no need to parse the Wikitext, it keeps the reader application as simple as possible, on the other hand it is nearly improssible to write a full wikitext parser which has all neccessary extensions and all templates like MediaWiki.

We have a development system on openzim.org which can be reached by RDP / VNC and runs Windows XP. Installed is also MinGW and Eclipse. For Symbian porting (to run zimreader on Nokia mobile devices) we have the Symbian SDK installed there as well. So if you know developers we would be happy if you could get them into the project. There will be developer meetings at LinuxTag (24. - 17.06.) in Berlin or in early autumn. > P.s.: Sorry for the delay. In the meantime, I've sent Manuel the DVD. Got it, thanks.

Essential would be for me to know what you want in term of software and selection. About Kiwix, I assume you have tested it with the demo ZIM file in Italian, so you shhould know what is currently possible: * more or less pertinent selection of articles * Rendering like online with thumbnails * simple gui software (all in one) with search engine Main problem: * No Windows/Mac support (libzim+Kiwix have to be ported) If you want to know more, I propose to you to join #kiwix on freenode.
