Hey, sorry to keep bugging you all, but I think
I've
missed like a few months worth of messages here and
I'm trying to catch up. Anyway, is there any mirror
site for Wikipedia where you can just read the
Wikipedia? Basically, I want a place to go where I
can read the Wikipedia when the server is
sloooooooooooooooooooow. If not, it might be a good
idea to set one up. Perhaps
http://www.wikipedia-imitation.org/ ? ;-)
Thanks,
Chuck
There are several mirror sites for Wikipedia but they
are all hopelessly out of date. There's the legal
nationmaster.com, the semi-legal
4reference.com, and
the illegal
typeencyclopedia.com. I am trying to write
something in Python that works as just a Wikipedia
reader from the database (so it can be updated more
frequently), either on your computer or over the
internet. Several other people are working on client
software, too. Theirs are much further along, but I
don't think any of them have the goal of creating
wikipedia mirror software.
