Dear all,
Thanks to Emmanuel and others for their work in making Kiwix even better!
We need to work on updating content, as suggested here: http://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/feature-requests/479/
I would really like to work on preparing our next release of the English Wikipedia (called Version 0.9), but I need some technical help in preparing the collection. User:CBM has done this in the past, but he is unable to do this now. Can anyone here help out? I believe that some knowledge of Perl and the WP:1.0 bot may be needed. CBM has offered to help in teaching a new person.
Many thanks, Martin (User:Walkerma)

Dear MK Yadava
Like indicated on our wiki, we haven't delivered Ubuntu packages anymore since Ubuntu 11.10. The reason is that Canonical decided to delete the xulrunner package from its software center: http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Ubuntu_PPA
You need the static version of Kiwix (the link is the 32bits version, check if you do not need the 64bits version): http://sourceforge.net/projects/kiwix/files/0.9_rc2/kiwix-0.9-rc2-linux-i686...
We will work soon on a solution and try to reintroduce somehow Kiwix, not only on our PPA, but also in the official Ubuntu Software Center.
Kind regards Emmanuel

ubuntu stated as reason that it is too much work to maintain xulrunner for the long term support versions: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-May/033229.html
i am wondering how debian handled the challenge of the rapid, and sometimes incompatible releases?

Debian guys are better and Kiwix is in Debian (for now, only in SID): http://packages.debian.org/sid/kiwix
As far as I know they have no plan to remove xulrunner.
