It's difficult to get a grasp on which offline
projects are being actively pursued. From the
meta.wikimedia.org pages, it looks like things
break down thus:
* content selection for each language
* dumping content to offline formats:
collections, dumphtml
* offline readers:
Kiwix, OLPC, Openmoko, mobile
* offline read-write
* print editions
The dump tools already share output formats,
but could be better integrated over intermediate
or input file format.
Is it desirable to print from any step in the
workflow? Maybe mwlib could be embedded into
readers...
What are the other big intersections between
projects?
