If you want to have dumps of Wikipedia for offline usage you might want to subscribe to dev-l (at) openzim.org. The openZIM team has made several dumps and provides software to do so as well as reader applications. Wikimedia is currently working on the dumping process to provide ZIM files on a regular basis in the same process of making XML and SQL dumps. If you ask on the ML you can get the URLs to download several dumps which are already available, there is at least a full dump of german Wikipedia (1,3 GB) and selected articles from english, spanish and italian Wikipedia with images.
