Ángel, that's an interesting reader you wrote. I cc: a list for
offline wikireaders (most designed around mediawiki).

A similar idea
is in use by schools across Peru[1] to provide offline access to the
Spanish Wikipedia, based on wikipedia-iphone code:
http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/wikiserver
It doesn't have the windows/IE dependency
The goal was to support both webbrowser and Mozembed but their different
link handling and lack of time reduced it. :(
Any takers? ;)
but leaves out many of your
features like special pages, full template support, and categories.

[1] the same schools want offline access to images, so a smarter
reader that knows to look in turn locally / at a server / online to
find images is desired.
I also support images :)
As it's running a mediawiki, it just searches for the images in the
local folder, and fallbacks to fetch them from commons using a
ForeignAPIRepo.
You can get some samples at
http://www.wiki-web.es/mediawiki-offline-reader/ although they're slower
than they could.
