Yes, it sounds like the missing link here is a tool for creating the list
of resources to offline. Z made one particular specification, but I
suppose it could be made a little more general, and potentially even
leverage some existing general-purpose pageset curation tools, such as
PetScan. AFAIK, PetScan currently doesn't support the use-case of "get me
N levels of pages linked from this first page (or from these P first
pages)", but we can imagine (and advocate for) PetScan supporting it at
some point.
Then, a PetScan query ID (which is enough to generate the page-set) can be
an input to the Wikipedia-on-Demand tool, the problem is solved. (Well,
almost: we'd still need to specify the logic for collecting related
resources -- i.e. none/some/all images included in the pages, Wikidata
items, etc.)

Given a wiki and a list of article titles, we can make
an offline
snapshot easily. To me the question is: What kind of selections? Based
on which approach? Using which data exactly?... and then probably find
to apply it and get the list of article titles.

Dear fellows - I would like to offline host
minimal set of Wiki pages (Wikipedias, Wikispore, Commons)
and minimal set of media (images, video and audio)
that all branch out from single Reasonator
(or
Portal.toolforge.org <http://Portal.toolforge.org>) search...
...and that keep global links beyond 2 degrees
(so that one can use them to continue online).
For now I think of just downloading pages offline
and hosting them as mobile wiki-to-static pages
using wget with manual corrections.
I would love to do this for monuments and
tiny libraries like this
https://w.wiki/5QWn <https://w.wiki/5QWn>
so maybe have library-like single-file wiki
(like
https://tiddlywiki.com <https://tiddlywiki.com> system)
so that users could connect to it
and live notices.
Anyone has idea if and how to do this better
and package in the most elegant way?
Anyone interested in collaborating?
Best Z. Blace
