Hello all, a new static HTML dump can be found in:

http://www/~puglisi/wiki/wikipedia/ma/main_page.html

The script used for this is not downloadable yet, but it will be soon. Many errors with wikipedia markup, redirects, etc. are fixed. Search sorta works with IE and Mozilla.

What to do now:

- images are not included, but linked to the online site (each image is represented as a link). This is a stopgap solution, but I don't have many ideas about this :-)

- search is done with word indexes (only for page titles), and is acceptably fast on IE and a bit slower on Mozilla. Still does not work on Opera, and still limited to only one word to search for, but already usable :-)

- according to Nero, this dump fits into a 660 CD-Rom, so it's quite burnable :-)

So now that the technicalities are being resolved, it's time for politics to enter the issue: namely, what we'll do with this version? CD distribution? HTML mirrors? what else?

New version planned to fix some of the problems listed above. Stay tuned :-)

Ciao, Alfio
