Folks, Coming here by way of the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team pages, I have a few questions.
Disclaimer :- I am in South Africa, where bandwidth is expensive, so a lot of my 'fiddling' is done on my server in the USA, where I do not have b/w limitations. My interest is to be able to serve wikipedia content off a server in a classroom - usually a Thin Client setup, but not always, and they rarely have internet access. Weak, small clients, networked to a strong server, running linux. I downloaded a torrent - en.wikipedia.okawix - which appeared to be a tarball with these contents :- -rw-r--r-- 1 andyr andyr 571428918 Jul 6 23:24 article.index -rw-r--r-- 1 andyr andyr 108812163 Jul 6 23:24 article.map -rw-r--r-- 1 andyr andyr 5601891132 Jul 6 23:23 en.wikipedia.zeno -rw-r--r-- 1 andyr andyr 11 Jun 23 18:58 entry.url -rw-r--r-- 1 andyr andyr 307 Jul 6 23:23 licence.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 andyr andyr 596303890 Jul 6 23:25 word.index -rw-r--r-- 1 andyr andyr 108108941 Jul 6 23:25 word.map I see a zeno file - a precursor to the zim format ? The ZimReader static binary from http://openzim.org/Releases dated 2009-06-07 (same date as the files above ?) will not read the file. Am I doing this wrong ? Secondly, I downloaded wikipedia_en_wp1_0.7_30000+_05_2009_beta2.zim and pointed the ZimReader at this - hoping to browse to server:8080 and read the file. But I have no index, and no search - do I need to get the index files separately ? And the css files (?) are in German - do I need to compile my own reader from svn to get an English reader ? Can I build a deb (for Ubuntu ?) Cheers, Andy! _______________________________________________ dev-l mailing list [email protected] https://intern.openzim.org/mailman/listinfo/dev-l
