Hey there,<br><br>I just wanted to give you a little progress report on vido [1].<br><br>After the openzim developer-meeting [2] quite a few changes were made to the format to allow the usage of zim files even on limited devices such as the Ben NanoNote.<br>

<br>Last night, after finally finding the right file, I managed to get the full german wikipedia (without images) to run nicely. The file is on the openzim server in their download section[3].<br><br>There are quite a few neat functions in vido. Please be patient with it, responses are not instant, but it does what you ask it after 1-2s at the most. There are still a few quirks here and there. Scrolling is not optimal, the way links can be selected deserves another look etc etc. But the foundation works.<br>

<br>One word abotu the zim files. Currently there are only german wiki files that have been tested. I will dive into the mechanism of creating other zim files as soon as I get back from FOSDEM. I have been told there is a process for that already, but it is not well documented. We are also in talks with the Wikimedia Foundation and other wikis to get them to publish wiki files themselves.<br>

<br>If anyones feels like diving into the code to make it better, faster, nicer please go ahead. Just contact me for git access and such. <br><br>Once again a big yay for the openzim project!<br><br>Ok, here a small list of what vido can do:<br>

<br>- open and display contents of a zim file (on the console):<br>vido [PATH TO FILE]<br><br>- get a random article (in vido):<br><br>ctrl + r<br><br>- search for an article (in vido):<br><br>ctrl + s<br><br>- go back to last article (in vido):<br>

<br>ctrl + b<br><br>- go to next article (if you went back before) (in vido):<br><br>ctrl + f<br><br>- display your history (in vido):<br><br>ctrl + h<br><br>- go to top (in vido):<br><br>ctrl + t<br><br>To move through links in an article use TAB. If you only want to scroll use the arrow keys.<br>

<br>Note: If you scroll the cursor doesn&#39;t move, which means that if you tab after you scrolled for a while the display will go back to the last link you selected.<br><br>/mirko<br><br>[1] <a href="http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/vido/" target="_blank">http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/vido/</a><br>
