Hi, Emmanuel.
The file is at
http://benyehuda.org/zim/hewiki.zim
It weighs about 300MB. No pictures.
A fellow WM-IL member named Rotem Simha (alias Hidro) will be doing a lot of
the initial testing. Expect to hear from him soon :)

Hi Asaf,
this is great! Do you can provide an download link, I'm curious about the
result?
I do not know if you have include pictures in the dump, but if yes you can
reduce the ZIM file size by 10-20% by using the ./optimizeContents.pl script
and the --mediawikiOptim paramter.
If you achieve to do what you said, this would be wonderful, and certainly
the first big deployement of the ZIM format.
About the Kiwix UI translation, this would be also great and pretty easy to
do. I'm especialy interesting in it, because Hebrew would be the first
translation of Kiwix with a language written from right to left. If you have
time you can simply come to #kiwix on freenode and I will explain you how to
do and give you the SVN access to upload translated files.
Congratulations
Emmanuel

Hi, everyone.
Im pleased to announce that, with many thanks to Emmanuel and Tommi,
Ive finally managed to create a ZIM file based on a Hebrew Wikipedia
dump. We are now finally able to begin evaluating it as a solution
to our offline project of embedding a Hebrew Wikipedia on every
computer distributed with the One Computer Per Child initiative of the
Israeli government.
We shall be concentrating a list of bugs and/or issues and bring them
to this list. Once the main developers have a look at it, well
gladly help with fixing it, too. Also, we shall be contributing a
Hebrew interface to Kiwix.
More to follow in the coming week or two.
Thanks again to everyone who helped!
