There no news for you about my part - I basically presented what openZIM is, how it works, which challenges we meet and which solutions we found and answered a lot of questions about it.
Thank you for presentig openZIM, this was essential.
Europe. That's why they developed an offline version of Malayalam Wikipedia and distributed 500 CDs in schools. Additionally there is the problem that Malayalam scripts are not displayed correctly on a standard computer. While they have much less data - they "just" made an HTML dump of Malayalam Wikipedia - they had to modify the CSS and use some CSS tricks with builtin fonts to enable a correct display of the articles. Also the filenames had to be changed to work with an ISO image and thus all the links had to be adopted. At least for the last part openZIM could be suitable for them. Interesting was the fact that even the Malayalam Wikipedia is not displayed correctly if you don't know their tricks.
Yes, although this seems to me to be a Windows font issue... but the point was interesting and at this occasion I discovered a bug in my ZIM build script :)
The discussion show me also the need of an automatic transliteration tool (latin-X) in Kiwix for search imput fields (Santosh have done one in JS in the web pages itself for Malayalam alphabet).
I hope that Emmanuel and Asaf want to tell us more here about their experience of Wikimania 2010.
Important points for me: * Meeting "in the real world" few people and pushing our common projects. Hope to have a few annoucements to do until the end of the year. * Get feedbacks of users about Kiwix. * Next release wave in English with WP1 0.701 and 0.8 * New challenges with pushing plan for Wikitrust and starting work with new WP1 assessment&selection tool * Launching Kiwix port for OLPC
Cheers Emmanuel
