Today I released v1.1 of the Wikipedia to TomeRaider conversion script. See the script for version history: http://members.chello.nl/epzachte/Wikipedia/WikiToTome.pl
If someone mails me FTP upload parameters I will upload 4 TomeRaider databases (ready for browsing, conversion already done) :
Complete English Wikipedia: 104 Mb Complete Dutch Wikipedia: 5 Mb Complete German Wikipedia: 10 Mb Demo English Wikipedia: 47 Kb
TomeRaider versions exist for Windows/Pocket PC/Palm/EPOC handhelds. See http://www.tomeraider.com (also preview versions available)
Screenshots and much more info on my site: http://members.chello.nl/epzachte/Wikipedia/

I wonder if we could license a selection of Wikipedia articles to either TomeRaider, or the hardware manufacturers.
I think it would make a spiffy selling point: "comes preloaded with a 50,000 article encyclopedia"

They are of course welcome to use whatever they want under GFDL, and we could provide them with a selection of articles, but beyond that we cannot "license" articles to them, since we don't own the copyrights.

Sorry, mistake in my wording. I meant "provide them with nicely-packaged Wikipedia content in such a way that they pay us for it to raise money for better servers" :-) feasible?
