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.

Here is a small contribution from Malayalam Wiki community to the Wikimedians of all language. Even though we have developed this software for creating the Malayalam Wikipedia CD now you can use use it to create CD of any language Wiki.

There is huge effort that went behind the creation of this software and the CD. I will blog about that once I am back in Bangalore.

Here are the details of the software:

Name of the Software: Wiki2CD
Developed by : Santhosh Thottingal
Software source: http://github.com/santhoshtr/wiki2cd
Documentation: http://wiki.github.com/santhoshtr/wiki2cd/
Blog link about this software:http://thottingal.in/blog/2010/04/17/mlwikioncd/

This ia a small step forward. We know that if community effort is involved this can be developed into a feature rich software with multiple features.

Here is the link to Download the Malayalam Wikipedia CD: http://www.mlwiki.in/mlwikicd/img/MLWikipediaCD-2010.iso

More details about this efforts at a later time.
