--- Comment #11 from Andrew Dunbar <[email protected]> 2012-06-10 07:06:23 UTC --- I would dearly love to see a version of this patch go upstream so that others who want to use the real live parser without a DB can see where to start. Obviously having a proper abstraction layer between the parser and various db- / HTTP- / filesystem back end classes is the best way, but since the dev team is busy with bigger projects, having (a cleaned up version of) this starting point in the codebase will help people wanting 100% parse fidelity for offline viewers, data miners, etc. Personally I've wanted an offline viewer that worked straight from the published dump files for years. (Other offline viewers like Kiwix need their own huge downloads in their own formats.) I had the code to extract the needed data from the dump files, but never succeeded with the next step of parser integration. It was me who asked _Vi to participate in this discussion. He's the first one I bumped into over the years who has done some real work in this direction. Hack = prototype = as good a place to start as anywhere.
