Hi all,

I have gotten my old youtube introspector::reader script now running
on the wikimedia strategy, and am reading all the english articles
as youtube videos. All the code is checked in.

Here is an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsuoRQDsWCo

The idea is to use latex to format the pages, where the paper size is
the size of a youtube screen.
the pages are converted to pdf and then I use standard tools to create
page images and espeak to read the text of each page.

http://filebin.ca/vabkzw/wikipedia-strategy.tgz posted a tarball of my
reader script,  (there are only some minor tweaks that are only in
bzr)
cause launchpad is having issues.

Here is where I checked the code in:
https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesmikedupont/introspectorreader/wikipedia-strategy

you run it like this :
bash ./wikipedia-strategy/alltogether.sh page6/6.xml

the only think left to do is make the splitter script output the page
directories like that, it currently emits pages/$x.xml.

Thanks,

mike
