Hey, sorry to keep bugging you all, but I think
I've
missed like a few months worth of messages here
and
I'm trying to catch up. Anyway, is there any
mirror
site for Wikipedia where you can just read the Wikipedia? Basically, I want a place to go where
I
can read the Wikipedia when the server is sloooooooooooooooooooow. If not, it might be a
good
idea to set one up. Perhaps http://www.wikipedia-imitation.org/ ? ;-)
Thanks, Chuck
There are several mirror sites for Wikipedia but they are all hopelessly out of date. There's the legal nationmaster.com, the semi-legal 4reference.com, and the illegal typeencyclopedia.com. I am trying to write something in Python that works as just a Wikipedia reader from the database (so it can be updated more frequently), either on your computer or over the internet. Several other people are working on client software, too. Theirs are much further along, but I don't think any of them have the goal of creating wikipedia mirror software. LDan
Oops, I hadn't read that tinyweb mail when I sent this. I can't get it to run, though. LDan
