Hi, Over the last few weeks, we've been working on creating a cut-down snapshot of the most popular articles from the Spanish Wikipedia that is small enough to fit on the XO of every child in a Spanish-speaking deployment. Here's the first release of that activity, containing around 30000 articles and 3000 images:
http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/eswiki/Wikipedia-6.xo (98MB) We'd love some help testing it out, and to hear feedback and ideas. The method of serving compressed content we're using is described at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/WikiBrowse The source code is available inside the .xo, and also at: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/wikiserver You'll notice blue and green links when browsing articles: the blue links are to pages present in the local snapshot, and the green links are to pages that weren't popular enough to make it into the archive. Clicking on green links will go to the online Wikipedia page for that article. It's most useful to test the activity while disconnected from the Internet, since that way you'll see which images are present in our snapshot as opposed to being automatically downloaded from Wikipedia. The project was made possible by volunteers who worked on developing the activity and curating the article and images snapshot -- thanks to Wade Brainerd, Benjamin Schwartz and Madeleine Ball, as well as to Patrick Collison who created (and released under the GPL) the "Wikipedia on iPhone" project that was the basis for ours. Thanks! - Chris. -- Chris Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
