Emmanuel :
A simple offline reader ready in time for wikimania would be
excellent. What language are you working in? Is there a public code
repository?
Some people at One Laptop per Child are working on an offline
reader/writer for mediawiki style dumps in python; this will be used
to read ebooks, other texts, and wiki dumps... perhaps some coding
collaboration is possible, where the specific specs of different
projects overlap.

Hi,
I'm Emmanuel Engelhart, member of Wikimedia France board.
I aim publishing Wikipedia in French.
We are a few persons who try to manage to do that.
I personally :
- wrote an offline-reader requirement document
- program the scripts to build the document repository
- want to build the index with Xapian (I want to try CLucene too)
I need some help to :
- make a perfect mirror of wikipedia locally, I have a problem to import all
images.
- make a GUI over the document repository & index, I'm not a GUI programer ;
Qt, GTK, XPFE programer needed ;-)
To my opinion it's possible to present a simple offline-reader for Wikimania.
So join Wiki-offline-reader-l(a)wikimedia.org if you're interested.
Best wishes
Emmanuel
