Any news to update static HTML Wikipedia?
by Chengbin Zheng 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I bring this old issue up because I want to know if (or if not) progress (or plans) are made to update the static HTML version of Wikipedia. B&H photos just leaked the next generation of Archos portable media players. Unbelievably, the rumors of a 500GB version is true! This is already tempting (especially the price at $420). Just waiting for specs on September 15, the Archos event. I really hope it will support NTFS so I can use the compression feature. It would be really cool and convenient to have an offline copy of Wikipedia anywhere I go without the need of Wi-Fi. What am I gonna do with 500GB? BTW, does anyone know what is the size of the current static HTML English Wikipedia version uncompressed? Thanks.

Dear developers, publishers and users, we have fixed the time for our second developers meeting of the openZIM project, a meeting for all users, developers and publishers of software or works using the ZIM file format. == Time == It will take place over the weekend from November 20th to 22nd 2009. We will start on Friday evening and shutdown at Sunday afternoon. == Topics == === Technical topics: === * fixing fulltext search (should we stick with the current system? should we add different search engines?) * category handling * additional ZIM headers (a proposal for adding additional headers to the format to be able to store all HTML meta data has been made) * portability of libzim (efforts have been made to port libzim to Windows, Linux on ARM...) === Wikimedia related topics: === * requirements for Wikimedia ZIM creation * MediaWiki interfaces * other reader applications on different platforms === Communication === * future exhibitions * marketing == Location == The meeting will take place in south-western Germany, near Basel. The openZIM team tries to cover all costs for accommodation and catering during the meeting. To achieve this we have to know very early how many people will arrive, so we can choose the best location possible. We plan to book an appartment with Internet access and kitchen, so we can work and sleep at the same place and cater ourselves. == Details and Registration == Please register (and add your comments) at http://openzim.org/Developer_Meetings/2009-2 There you will find also details how to reach the place etc. REGISTRATION CLOSES AT SEPTEMBER 31st! Kind regards, Manuel -- Regards Manuel Schneider Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge www.wikimedia.ch

Links to Special:ListUsers/...
by Helder Geovane Gomes de Lima 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hello! Does anybody knows why the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/autoreviewer makes the target page to have the box on the right filled with "Autoreviewers" and shows only the users in that group, while using a translated name at pt.wikipedia, like http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Lista_de_utilizadores/Robôs<http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Lista_de_utilizadores/Rob%C3%B4s> doesn't do the same thing? (in this example, we get a list of all users, starting from "Robôs") Is it possible to use a translated name in the link for this kind of special page? (lists of users in a group) Helder

RegioWikiCamp - September 25-27, Germany
by Brianna Laugher 01 Sep '09

Hi, I just heard about an unconference event called "RegioWikiCamp". I imagine it will be of interest to lots of folks living near Germany (if you are not all conferenced out after Wikimania!). http://wiki.regiowiki.eu/RegioWikiCamp_2009 "It will be from September 25th to 27th. The event is located in Furtwangen the middle of the beautiful Black Forest in Germany. It is organised by the European Regiowiki Society, location host is the faculty of Digital Media of the Furtwangen University of Applied Science." I see that some of the attendees include WMDE, Wikia and Semantic MediaWiki, so it must not be a completely unknown event, although I didn't find it mentioned on these lists yet. cheers Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/
