I am excited to see in this week's OLPC devel mailing that there is work afoot to use the Google Gears toolkit to make MediaWiki content browse-able offline. This could be yet another cool way to make the WikiEducator content portable and/or deployable.
> 19. Google Gears: SJ spoke to Othman Laraki and Ben Lisbakken of the > Google Gears project and with Zvi Boshernitzan of Kiva, who are all > working on making Gears a tool for offline mediawiki browsing. They > offered help getting Gears integrated into the Browse activity and > noted that a patch to make Gears work with FF3-minus-extensions has > already been submitted (for use on a mobile platform) so most of the > work has been done. Ben will follow up with people working on Browse, > and will offer a userspace demo for Wikipedia users, as prelude to > getting offline-reader hooks into MediaWiki proper. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
