Hello,
If I can re-open this thread, I am very interested in moving towards a
read-write offline platform. After helpful feedback from people in this
community, I have decided to start two wikis in the hope of a collaborative
implementation, (content transcluded below)
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Offline_Editorship
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Offline/Wiki
==============
Motivation
Offline reader software packages lack the ability to edit. The wiki concept should not be
abandoned even in this seemingly marginal use case. Collaboration becomes possible from
any remote situation, really interesting applications include a small community's
school contributing back to Wikipedia, or scientists who use a wiki to coordinate their
work.
Strategies
Note that these approache are exclusive.
* Browser-based editing saves to an HTML5 cache
* Alternative to mediawiki page rendering
* Edit mode for Kiwix
