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 =========
