Hi,
I have a simple question
What is the average size of a wikipedia article in Spanish?
I need this to calculate the amount of articles that can be included on a CD. Subsequently, this size will be compressed by LZMA2 (OpenZIM format)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_comparisons => is updated?
I think the place to look would be http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaES.htm. However, the average size hasn't been updated since 2009. I sent an email about this to Erik a few days ago and he said these stats will be available after some new servers will have been installed. No ETA, though.

Article size = thumb img size + article size (text and images)

Hey Wilfredor,
If your building a collection of all Wikipedia articles I just wanted to highlight that we have a number of them including Spanish on http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page. Their circa 2010 but if you have some time we could show you the tools to build an up to date collection.
Overall you can also get a background on all of our offline projects at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects in case your curious.
If you have any other questions then let know.

The text of the 30000 largest articles (from 534790 to 17188 bytes) sum 1016892130 bytes, so that's on average 33896 bytes *just for the text* (uncompressed).

I think this is an excellent size. Thank you very much, again. ;) It is likely that this amount should be deposited in a DVD
