Check out these pages: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection http://mwlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/collection.html#installation-and-configuration-of-the-collection-extension look for $wgCollectionFormats > However, my understanding is that ZIM files do not allow incremental > updates.

Well, out of the box it doesn't do that but it's technically possible and has been discussed a few times. Small ZIM files with updated content can be used in parallel to a base file which holds the initial content. Split ZIM files are already supported out of the box. Tools like zim-merge have been been discussed when talking about incremental updates. Emmanuel (Kelson) and Tommi can tell us more about this. /Manuel -- Regards Manuel Schneider Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge www.wikimedia.ch _______________________________________________ Offline-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/offline-l
