Ciao Frederic,

I would know how I can help you (and Emmanuel) to develop the software (openZIM + GUI reader application like Kiwix), and how long it will take.
okay, I see.
I guess we wait for an answer directly from Emmanuel. I won't be a big help here, I am coordinating this project, but I'm not into the developing process itself.
I would be pretty interested, especially in the source code. So if it is online just sent a link to this mailinglist.
It is a 7,5 GB DVD. Since the collaboration with the publisher who developed it has failed, the source code has not been published yet (it was a contractual obligation, but we didn't sign the contract), but perhaps if you find its features interesting we can try to get the source (while it's difficult).
You might want to send it to me by mail, I will send you my postal address by private mail (the ML in CC has public archives).
Do you know http://sourceforge.net/projects/wanda-tools/ (another italian project to produce a DVD)?
I think I have heard from it, but I will look into it. What is your opinion about it? Why you don't use it? (please don't get me wrong, I am really looking forward to have a free and standardized format to be able to exchange data files and readers freely, so I am happy that you want to go with ZIM).
Greets,
Manuel
