David brought up the idea of publishing some Wikipedia documents as part of the Linux Documentation Project. That reminded me of an old idea: publish a snapshot of the Wikipedia as a downloadable set of static HTML pages that people can use without a net connection, and that could also be burned on CD. No wiki.cgi script needed. If someone clicks on an edit link or RecentChanges, they are directed to the corresponding life Wikipedia page.
That would be fantastic!
By the way, it would be nice if the wikipedia tarballs could be updated, to encourage experimentation like this.
Yes. I was told a week or two ago that this was soon to be done daily. I don't know if that's now the case, though...squeaking wheels, keep a-squeakin'.
