Hi,
OLE Nepal provides access to Wiki4Schools. This is a slice which is
equivalent to a 34 volume encyclopedia. It is trivial to set up with
XS-0.7. I can provide the install script if you would like it.
The main problem is that Wikipedia online is accessed through a search
(e.g Google). This implementation provides access only by article.
You can get an idea of the interface via www.pustakalaya.org.

I've been debating the possibility of running a*complete* copy of
Wikipedia (txt and images) offline on the XS. At this point, the
targets are English (https://en.wikipedia.org) and Hindi
(https://hi.wikipedia.org).
The demand on the local server wouldn't be huge, given the relatively
small footprint at the school. Storage is cheap. This would be an
offline copy for one-way consumption, so I'm not looking for ways to
do local edits, and push these back upstream. I'd imagine the
Wikipedia dumps can be rsync'd once every x months over sneakernet.
Dump data is here:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps
Has anyone thought of this or tackled it in any way? Would love some discussion.
cheers,
Sameer
