Hi
zimwriterfs is a command line tools which transforms any local directory
with static HTML files to the corresponding ZIM file. At Kiwix we have
created that tool years ago and have been using it intensively since.
The last months many improvements have been brought to zimwriterfs:
* Increase the speed
* Clean the code
* Make it able to create ZIM with full-text index inside
Most of that work has been done during Esino Lario Kiwix hackathon. For
more details about other achievements:

We thought this is now a good time to publish it as a part of the
openZIM project and to provide official release mgmt, tarballs and
support. Here it is:

ZIM is a great format which has proven his efficiency (compression
level, versatility, portability, random access speed and performance)
over the past 5 years and which deserves to be even broader used. Other
projects, in addition to Kiwix, should adopt the ZIM format for offline
content distribution or researches purposes.
As a consequence, the effort to improve documentation/packaging/tools
around ZIM will continue in the next months and in 2017. Everything will
be posted here, like usual. More details about the openZIM project at
