Yes you can generate content from a single file and there are a couple of samples to test the process in xml-sample-files. I added a wiki page: http://github.com/wikireader/wikireader/wiki/Building-an-image to give a brief overview of converting one of these files. Please let me know if this is any help. For me it would be very helpful so i can concentrate on the parser and can test it directly. Perhaps you can describe the process to convert Wikipedia XY into the wiki.dat format and describe how own content can be integrated. From the git checkout to a working wikipedia XY. with kind regards Patrick -- Best regards.

Hi Christoph We're still super active developing WikiReader. You can view our latest commits here: http://github.com/wikireader Over the past few months we've been working on many new language variants. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, all have working virtual keypads now. We also have a download tool under development for Windows and OS X for people who want to use an easy interface to update their WikiReader. This will be pushed to github with a formal release later this month. Overall we're quite happy with our progress on the technical side as well as the sales side. But we definitely would love to see more community involvement. I'm going to reply in detail to Patrick's email shortly. I just got back in the office. It's been a busy last few weeks for us.

Most of these are templates and within these templates there's HTML tables. Currently we remove all tables since we haven't found an elegant solution to displaying tables on our screen (it's only 240 pixels wide). You can look at: http://github.com/wikireader/wikireader/blob/master/host-tools/offline-renderer/ArticleRenderer.py And see where we parse out tables. If you have some ideas how to handle this better, we'd love to hear. - Table of Contents would be helpful to get a overview about the content of the whole article On our todo list... but it's still a while away. We're really just trying to get the base language support really solid. - searching in a article could be very usefull Agreed! - The scrolling it a bit poor, because you can't read anything on the screen when you scroll - on the community list was a small patch discussed: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-December/058462.html That patch works no more, but from the descriptions i find it very useful.

See for example: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kfz-Kennzeichen_in_Deutschland On the Wikireader you get only a list from 0-9 and A-Z without any license plates. Yes. (see above explanation) So how can we fix the problems and get new features in? I am only a python programmer but i hope i can help.

Wikireader development - Ideas and improvements
