Dear Andy,
My interest is to be able to serve wikipedia content off a server in
a classroom - usually a Thin Client setup, but not always, and they rarely have internet access. Weak, small clients, networked to a strong server, running linux.
Zim and Zeno file formats are not intended for network access. Zim/Zeno readers like Okawix and Kiwix need to have direct access to the files. Now you could workaround it by using some NFS or Samba share.
well, this is not true.
If you get the zimreader from the openZIM website (better you get it from SVN and compile it yourself as the binary is quite old) you already have a webserver.
Start the zimreader, pointing it to the ZIM files (article file and index file) and you have a website running on localhost:8080.
Emmanuel (on this list) has made some ZIM files, also for english, which work.
At the end of this week we have another developers meeting and we aim to fix some minor incompatibilities we still have between different ZIM file creators and ZIM readers.
Greets,
Manuel
