It's nice to see a python toolchain for this (though I don't see any code at
that url?)  They exist in other languages as well.  We've been working with
Linterweb's Kiwix (kiwix.org) and the Schools-Wikipedia, which use their own
toolchains.

Alecu, take a look at the [[wikislice]] project on the olpc wiki and en
wikipedia.  We're looking to improve available tools, particularly in terms
of giving slice-creators detailed options about the ratio of media to text.

ps - I don't see code at the google-code url... and "cdpedia" is a name used
by a few existing projects, some commercial; you might want to choose
another name.

pps - Martin: simple: is nice, but not of uniform quality
