Excellent work, Santosh. I read the README and the documentation. I think for most requirements, we can simply reuse the program. Even if some customisation is needed, we can modify the code, I think. Restricting it to just one namespace, for example. Please add this project to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Static_version_tools if you have not done already.Also let http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Walkerma know about this. He's one of the core members of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team and had a lot of experiences to share in the last Wikimania. - Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture *From:* Shiju Alex &lt;shijualexonline(a)gmail.com&gt; *To:* wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org *Cc:* Santhosh Thottingal &lt;santhosh.thottingal(a)gmail.com&gt; *Sent:* Sat, April 17, 2010 4:47:12 PM *Subject:* [Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki2CD software Hello Wikimedians As mentioned in my previous mail, here are the details of the new software that we have developed for creating the Malayalam Wikipedia on CD.
