Hi Arunmozhi,

that's interesting!

There's a javascript tool call
https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/other/ci/master/tree/mwoffliner/ that can
offline sets of wikipedia/mediawiki files. It's used for producing the
current mediawiki dumps, and may have some advantages, e.g. that entries
are linked. So it might be useful for your project.

I also wonder whether something like this could be done within the OCG tool
chain? I.e. where a number of articles are selected with the
collection/book interface, and then exported as zim from within mediawiki.

Thanks for sharing!
