Very good work, Arun-ji! Indeed, using mwoffliner internally would be best.
It is certainly possible to host this on Wikimedia servers. Emmanuel,
would you lead the process to get it hosted?
And thanks also to the two veteran Tamil Wikipedians who helped with this,
Bala and Srikanth. :)

Dear Arunmozhi
The only point which is a little bit "problematic" is the technology to
retrieve and manipulate the HTML from Mediawiki. We have been working
since almost two years on mwoffliner (mwoffliner can perfectly deal with
list of articles), a solution to do that and AFAIK this is the most
advanced solution to retrieve Mediawiki content. What do you think about
re-using it within Zimbalaka?
I am learning NodeJS presently after a few hiccups I had with putting
together the various parts
of this project. I would be more than happy to include mwoffliner and
rewrite Zimbalaka.
It would take me a few weeks to get the hang of Node, then I can
contribute.
Regards,
Arunmozhi
