Great, I was always reporting bugs, making remarks or asking question directly to Tommi.
This will now more easy to manage and keep an archive of such request.
Thank you
Emmanuel

Dear Federico,
you have here the contact for the project openZIM.
The main contact is Manuel Schneider (manuel.schneider(a)wikimedia.ch)
and the group of developers can be contacted with the address
(dev-l(a)openzim.org).
Manuel can clarify you the status of the project.
Federico Leva is member and treasurer of the board of Wikimedia
Italia. Wikimedia Italia is looking for a new solution for the CD of
offline edition of it.wikipedia and would have a look in OpenZIM to
investigate if this solution can match the requirements of Italian
board.
Wikimedia Italia seems to be interested also to support the project
like Wikimedia CH is doing.
I have received from Manuel also the notification that some tests are
not in progress due to the overload of work, but I think that Federico
could help you to found some testers.

At Wednesday, May 27th I will have a phone call with Pascal Martin and his
colleagues from Linterweb about the future cooperation between Linterweb and
openZIM.
Pascal is the CEO of Linterweb.
Linterweb started using libzeno in 2008, before openZIM was found. As there
was no project and due to that no team or source code repository they
improved and developed their own patches for libzeno.
Since then a re-integration of Linterweb's work into openZIM is due.
I hope that we will be able to fix that soon. Linterweb is still working with
their version of libzeno as they have some features in there which did not go
into our source code and are thus not in libzim.
In my last mail to this list I forwarded the Linterweb version of libzeno and
ask you to review that and see how we can integrate that.
I appreciate your feedback until Wednesday.
Greets,
Manuel

Tommi and Emmanuel,
please have a look into the attachments. This is the patched code of libzeno
from Linterweb. It should run on Windows and fixe some bugs in the library as
well as in the reader.
Pascal, which is on this list, might want to explain it if needed.
Please see if you can integrate that into our current SVN, gaining us the
impovments of Linterweb and enable them to use our current SVN code for their
further development.
I would prefer it if Linterweb had commit access to our subversion.
Please give your comments on this list about this code. If there is any reason
not to use it please explain why.
Greets,
Manuel

Can someone point me to which source file/tarball or packaged release
contains the 'cxxtools/condition.h' that the trunk copy of zimlib wants?
I can't seem to find it in libcxxtools-dev or libcxxtools6 and the src
release of cxxtools-1.4.8 doesn't seem to have it either.
Would love to compile it on ubuntu and get it tested with our data dumps.
let know.

this is great!
We're currently working heavy on the Wikipedia DVD for LinuxTag. It should be
ready by the end of May, so we can order the production.
Unfortunately the software is still somewhat beta because there was no time to
test it thoroughly as we were quite busy implementing some new features
(which couldn't finished all yet).
But we can create ZIM files on a regular basis now and we have two readers
(zimreader as a webserver and Kiwix as a GUI application using XUL).
The DVD has three aims:
* show the achievments of openZIM to the public and illustrate how it can be
used
* being a test case for the project for finding bugs etc.
* providing a new Wikipedia offline release which is so much requested
The latter one will give us also the opportunity to do PR in the media which
we haven't done yet. The DVD, even as a test case, is kind of sustainable as
the software and format are more or less fixed, at least they can upgrade or
change the reader software whenever they want or get a new ZIM file and can
go on using openZIM.
It would be great if Wikimedia CH could sponsor the DVD project and LinuxTag
exhibition (where we already got an approval for our project booth) with a
budget of 1000 CHF. Most of the budget will go into DVD production, the rest
I would use to partly sponsor the accommodation in Berlin for the team
members.
Greets,
Manuel

In addition I would announce you that I will send you a contact of a

Hallo,
Time goes by: I think we should slowly have a DVD ISO to press.
Does someone have time to prepare it?
I can make a proposition relatively quickly.
The only point I ignore is where is the last de: ZIM file ? and if this
ZIM file can be published ?
Regards
Emmanuel

Hi Thomasz,
thanks for your answer.
I was thinking of a wiki on a server which is not part of the cluster but configured the same way as the productive Wikimedia wikis. Especially the updates of the software is the issue, so the installation is always suitable for Wikimedia content (Mediawiki version, extensions etc.).
Then we need the possibility to maintain our own skin and our own version of wiki2html on that server (I think both should become part of Mediawiki anyway).
The initial idea was that we use it as a blank setup where we can import the latest dump of whatever wiki we want to convert to ZIM. But if a database connection to the Wikimedia cluster would be possible this would boost the whole process a lot.
But after thinking through all this I am at the point where I see the big solution: Put the zimwriter into Mediawiki / the Wikimedia dumps and we're set...
What do you think?
At the moment the DVD for LinuxTag in June is priority and the zimwriter is still work in progress, but we need a solution for current Wikipedia dumps.
Greets,
Manuel

Filling in since Brion is out in meetings today.
I'm a little confused with what you are asking here.
Are you requesting a machine that is configured the same as any one of
our web server nodes to serve wikipedia traffic and connects to our
databases but is not part of our general cluster? Or are you asking for
a blank node to populate with different types of data that you can in
turn generate ZIM files from?
Let know and we can get something in place.
