Android devices are far more competitively priced, so if people have a smart phone or tablet, it's usually Android. (Though in some places Blackberry is still quite common.) >> * '''Offline access:''' We'd love to have some advice how we can > We have a still in dev, but already working solution for ZIM incremental > update.

Some of it (the audio/images/files) are wiki uploads, but the video is kept separately (and YouTube, and on our server, so that it can be mirrored for local use). Just the uploads, i.e. the 'w/images' directory, alone is 1.2GB at the moment, so it's pretty substantial. So we might want to 'side load' the video content, if that makes sense, and would definitely need incremental updates for 'w/images'. The wiki text is not massive: the number of articles is about 1,500. > The real problem is the ZIM file generation.

Ok, so the use of Parsoid also means that the html5 generated is used for the ZIM file, so any <div>s we put in (for boxes) will appear in the output? We are using Widgets (e.g. for YouTube), so would this also work with Kiwix? (By embedding the video from YouTube, same as on our web site?) > 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 That would be great - many thanks! I'll see what I can do in terms of getting Parsoid working. We're on a virtual server, that I don't have su rights for, but I'll see what I can do. Many thanks, Bjoern _______________________________________________ Offline-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/offline-l
