Dear offline wikihackers, if you are interested in general discussions about offline reading and editing, please join the new offline-l mailing list. It is intended for offline use of mediawiki collections, but for those working on other wiki backends, I expect that much of the work and tools will be wiki-neutral.
In particular, I expect the recent discussion about how best to get Spanish Wikipedia to the students in offline schools in Latin America will move there (so we can stop cc:ing so many people and lists :) - so please subscribe if you want to follow that thread.
(Alejandro: por favor difundir este mensaje -- debates en español también son bienvenidos en la nueva lista.)
After some discussion with WMF staff and people working on wiki
offline tools, we wanted to make sure we have an official
WMF-designated forum to discuss both offline reader and editor
technologies for Wikimedia Foundation projects and other MediaWikis.
We felt the list name "wiki-offline-reader" didn't reflect
appropriately the need for offline editing and sharing tools, and have
therefore created a new list called offline-l:
We'll advertise this new list in the next couple of weeks in various
places. If you're interested in offline discussions, I strongly
encourage you to subscribe there.
Because wiki-offline-reader-l hasn't been very active, I haven't moved
the archives over, but this list won't be deleted for now (I added a
deprecation notice to the list info page).
Thanks and all best,
Erik
