Hi!
Version 3 of Evopedia, the offline Wikipedia reader for (not only) SHR
should be installable from the repositories for some days. Unfortunately
there is no recent dump for the English edition of Wikipedia. Evopedia
uses a compressed database of pre-rendered article pages (called dump)
to deliver articles even faster than when reading them online. The
drawback of this strategy is the amount of time needed to pre-render
every single article when creating such a dump. This is the reason why
there is no current English dump yet.
To remedy this situation, dump at home was created: A system for
distributed rendering of Wikipedia pages. If you have a Linux computer
with some spare CPU cycles and want to have a recent English (or any
other edition, but at the moment, English has priority) Wikipedia dump,
please consider joining the project. More information is available on
the dump at home project site: http://dumpathome.evopedia.info/contribute
Note that the platform is still in some kind of beta state, so please
forgive me if there are still some bugs (and please also report them).
Thanks for your time and interest in the project.
I host a torrent tracker for aarddict wikipedia dumps (program with similar
goals, started out on maemo). i'm not sure what you bandwidth situations is,
but if you'd like me to host torrents for you as well contact me by email.
