[Wiki-offline-reader-l] [Spcommittee-l] Wiki-offline-reader-l and Emmanuel

[Samuel Klein]

Emmanuel :

A simple offline reader ready in time for wikimania would be
excellent.  What language are you working in?  Is there a public code
repository?

Some people at One Laptop per Child are working on an offline
reader/writer for mediawiki style dumps in python; this will be used
to read ebooks, other texts, and wiki dumps... perhaps some coding
collaboration is possible, where the specific specs of different
projects overlap.

> I'm Emmanuel Engelhart, member of Wikimedia France board.
> I aim publishing Wikipedia in French.

> We are a few persons who try to manage to do that.

> I personally :
> - wrote an offline-reader requirement document
> - program the scripts to build the document repository
> - want to build the index with Xapian (I want to try CLucene too)
>
> I need some help to :
> - make a perfect mirror of wikipedia locally, I have a problem to import all
> images.
> - make a GUI over the document repository & index, I'm not a GUI programer ;
> Qt, GTK, XPFE programer needed ;-)
>
> To my opinion it's possible to present a simple offline-reader for Wikimania.
>
> So join Wiki-offline-reader-l at wikimedia.org if you're interested.
