Hi Arunmozhi,

that's interesting!

There's a javascript tool call https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/other/ci/master/tree/mwoffliner/ that can offline sets of wikipedia/mediawiki files. It's used for producing the current mediawiki dumps, and may have some advantages, e.g. that entries are linked. So it might be useful for your project.

I also wonder whether something like this could be done within the OCG tool chain? I.e. where a number of articles are selected with the collection/book interface, and then exported as zim from within mediawiki.

Thanks for sharing!

I was working as a teacher, I and my friend wanted to give offline wikipedia content to children using tablets. We stumbled upon OpenZim format.

After some work over the past two weeks. The tool is finally ready and live at http://www.srik.me/zimbalaka

Kindly take a look and I would be happy if people could host it in multiple places in use it, since current hosting on a friend's server ;)
