Dear Bjoern First of all, thank you very much for your email. This shows that this topic is not only about our Wikimedia project, but also about many other Mediawiki users.
I will try to answer to the ZIM related part of your message. Le 13/11/2013 12:42, Bjoern Hassler a écrit : > '''Scenario 2: Use on local web server.'''

We have a still in dev, but already working solution for ZIM incremental update. This should be available for users in a few months. But, as far as I can see, you mediawiki is not too big, so the ZIM file shouldn't be too big to. The real problem is the ZIM file generation. The future solution based on Parsoid should allow you (and anyone if your wiki is public) to build easily a ZIM file of it. For now we need to fix things on Parsoid and Kiwix side before having a perfectly usable solution. But, if you achieve to get a dev instance of Parsoid working onr your wiki, I would be happy to try to build a ZIM file for you: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid Emmanuel -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication _______________________________________________ Offline-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/offline-l
