Today we enabled openZim (http://openzim.org/Main_Page) export to the existing PediaPress collections extension on English Wikipedia and numerous others. In addition to PDF and ODF, you will now see a new export option when browsing the Download section of the Manage Book interface. You can then easily take these files and use them with the Kiwix offline reader (http://kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page).
This is really excellent. Thanks for the update. Do we track how much each export option is used?
It is really surprising that this all happened quietly in the background ;-)
I am not surprised, but this does make my day :)
We've actually been posting about this quite actively in

and on mailing lists

and we engaged with multiple community members to help us test the extension in its early form.
If there was some other form of communication that was missed then please let me know and I'll make sure to include it for further projects.
