Hi all! Since an offline encyclopedia is most valuable on mobile devices, I worked on building ZimReader for the Openmoko Neo.
As a start I did a native build on a Debian (hackable:1 [3]) driven Openmoko Freerunner. After fixing some minor build issue ([1], [2]), I can now browse Wikipedia offline on the phone. ZimReader performs amazingly well on the limited resources of the device. I use it in conjunction with woosh, a browser that comes with hackable:1. The content resides on SD-card. A full-text search takes around 5s, mostly even less. Since I'm not too much into packaging, I wrapped up a tar ball for those interested in binaries [4]. Please see the Readme for installation instructions. Note: The binaries will most likely _not_ run on OE-based distributions (OM2009, SHR). They have only been tested on hackable1. I'll try to supply packages for other distros, as soon as I find the time. Thank's a lot to the openzim team for their great work!
