Kelson [Emmanuel Engelhart] <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #7 from Kelson [Emmanuel Engelhart] <[email protected]> --- You can create your own selection of articles in the ZIM format using the "Special:Book" page. Regarding the tech: We have time to time such type of remark advocating a nosql DB system to sotre WP offline. The problem is that as far as I know, none of them is as efficient in term of compression/access speed/resource consumption as ZIM. This would be interesting to get some benchmark about indexdb with big corpus of Wikipedia content (with pictures) to see if indexdb could be a valid choice, at all, to store big Wikipedia contents offline. Regarding the incremental update: This is in any case challenging and pretty independent of the storage backend IMO. This is already on the openZIM roadmap, I want to see that implemented in 2014. Regarding offline edition: Even more challenging, directly linked to the dev of the visual editor. IMO also pretty independent of the storage backend. I doubt to see such a feature working well soon. IMO, this ticket is not a feature request: this is a new 3 years strategy program for the Mediawiki team ;) Less ambitious but more realistic: a few people are interested in a pure javascript ZIM reader (so all browser would have easily a ZIM support) and some of them have alreday started to work on that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
