Re: [WikiReader] Announcing wrdk
Wow, amazing job Michael. This deserves a big trial :D Thank you for sharing your great effor with the community!! On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 10:11 AM, Michael Hope michael.h...@seabright.co.nzwrote: Hi there. I'm happy to announce wrdk, a development kit for the WikiReader. wrdk is a pre-built toolchain, libraries, set of examples, and simple serial loader that makes developing applications for the Openmoko WikiReader a little bit easier. Included is fairly high level access to most of the hardware including the file system, LCD, buttons, and touch screen. The development cycle is pretty easy: write your app, build it, copy it over to a SD card, and pick the icon off a menu to run it. The serial loader, along with a modified WikiReader and custom cable, speeds this up by letting you reset the device and load a new program straight from your desktop machine. Binaries are available for Linux and Windows. See http://wrdk.seabright.co.nz/ for more. I'm tempted to offer a pre-modified WikiReader and download cable to help those who aren't electronically inclined. Please contact me if you'd be interested. -- Michael ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community -- Mi blog personal: http://blog.wikifotos.org/ Sé libre, usa ubuntu: http://www.ubuntustory.com/ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Maybe the problem is in this file:

What appears on wikipedia article: http://yfrog.com/elscreenshot001mxp
Is this some kind of parsing error?
I can only assume it's related to Wikipedia's convert function /
markup / template.
If you click to edit the article you'll see it shows:
Production vehicles produce a manufacturer-claimed engine output of
{{convert|474|bhp|kW|abbr=on}} at 6400nbsp;rpm and {{convert|434|lbft|
N.m|abbr=on}} at 3200-5200nbsp;rpm.
If I look at the page in a browser and view source I can see this as:
Production vehicles produce a manufacturer-claimed engine output of
474#160;bhp (353#160;kW) at 6400#160;rpm and 434#160;lb·ft
(588#160;N·m) at 3200-5200#160;rpm.
Maybe it's related to the use of the #160;??
This shows in multiple places in the paragraph.
In your screenshot it's most obvious because the missing 474bhp makes
the sentence nonsense.
But also it's missing from the first sentence: that reads as ... the
VR38DETT engine, a DOHC V6, but should read as ... the VR38DETT
engine, a 3,799 cc (3.8 L; 231.8 cu in) DOHC V6

Re: [wikireader] error parsing automobile articles
Timo, you're right. It has been my fault. I should started using the github issue tracker.
