Hi
For the first time, we have achieved to release a complete dump of all encyclopedic articles of the Wikipedia in English, *with thumbnails*.
This ZIM file is 40 GB big and contains the current 4.5 million articles with their 3.5 millions pictures: http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_en_all.zim.torrent
This ZIM file is directly and easily usable on many types of devices like Android smartphones and Win/OSX/Linux PCs with Kiwix, or Symbian with Wikionboard.
You don't need modern computers with big CPUs. You can for example create a (read-only) Wikipedia mirror on a RaspberryPi for ~100USD by using our ZIM dedicated Web server called kiwix-serve. A demo is available here: http://library.kiwix.org/wikipedia_en_all/
Do this for other sister projects perhaps.
