Greetings All,
Today we enabled openZim (
http://openzim.org/Main_Page) export to the existing PediaPress
collections extension on English Wikipedia and numerous others. In addition to PDF and
ODF, you will now see a new export option when browsing the Download section of the Manage
Book interface. You can then easily take these files and use them with the Kiwix offline
reader (
http://kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page).
We'd love to get some help testing to find bugs and receive feedback. Give the tool a
go and let us know what you think!
Bugs can be filed at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ under
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Component: Collection
You can also note your thoughts on
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collections/openZim and we'll move them over
to Bugzilla.
For those following our offline developments this is the first part of our push into new
tools mentioned at
http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2011/01/update-on-offline-wikimedia-projects/
Come help us make the others a success. Thanks to both Heiko and Volker for their work in
making this project successful.
