portable wikipedia - mokopedia
 
Hi there,

before upgrading to Diablo, I had this nice portable wikipedia running, a port of openmoko's mokopedia. However, it doesn't run in Diablo anymore for some reason. And the wikipedia data was somewhat outdated anyway. http://alendit.blogspot.com/2008/02/...ur-pocket.html

Wouldn't it be cool to port the latest version of Mokopedia to the Nokia 8x0? Anyone interested? The openmoko version is at http://mokopedia.mister-muffin.de/

Looking forward to what you have to say - wouldn't it be cool to have wikipedia with you always? Even in places that have no mobile phone and WLAN signal!

Felixx

There are alternatives. For example, there are 'dictionary' versions of Wikipedia. You can then import this into e.g. StarDict. Here one can download other versions of Wikipedia in various formats. You can also convert the XML to various other formats.

But I will look into your suggestion. It shouldn't be to hard to port it to Diablo if it was already ported to Chinook.

Hi,

I have tried sdict, but it isn't that nice to use, the search doesn't work very well and it loses the entire layout, including tables - and links don't work.

Yes ehm, you can create a newer database of Wikipedia using the instructions posted there.

What kind of error do you get when running it?

It is true, you can create a new database - it is quite a project, though as wikipedia doesn't publish html dumps any more, so you need to make one from the xml dump and then get it into a squashfs format. I have the German 2007 wikipedia as a html dump in squashfs, but when I tried to put the English one into squashfs it failed with file sizes larger than 2GB.

When I try to install the lighttpd package provided by alendit I get:

Try $ apt-get -f install

If its not installing it is probably in a repository you don't have enabled. Probably extras-devel :)

I just want to say that I'm pretty excited for someone to figure out how to get this going with Diablo, since having Wikipedia always available to me has been a dream for a while; ever since I heard it could be done on older generation iPods.

Here's my moral support! Go team!

I use wikipedia with sdictviewer
Works fine. Download from http://sdict.com/en/wikipedia.php

The static HTML dump for English Wikipedia June 2008 seems to be 14GB in a 7-zip file! I don't think that would fit on the tablet (even if it was squashed). The Sdict file is 500 MB, so something must be missing (images probably, maybe some obscure info?)

Re: portable wikipedia - mokopedia
 
you can use xml2dict to convert it to a .dct

There are various database dumps. You need to grab the right one.

I have an issue with it because my howto asks for a SQL file, which I don't have. I suppose I browsed around at the XML files; not the SQL files.

http://mokopedia.mister-muffin.de is down. You cannot access it even with Google Cache. Live.com Cache does work though.

I've installed Wikipedia Offline Reader and grabbed nlwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 (341 MB) which can be read directly after an index database is created (takes a while).

So I'm waiting, but I can tell you its easier than the method described at the mokopedia page. It speaks about importing wikidb.sql but this file simply doesn't exist; bad documentation!

Here's another lighttpd server package, also includes PHP support.

Anyways, details:
This package contains:
- PHP 5.2.5 CGI
- Built in support for: SimpleXML, sessions, PDO, SQLite
- Modules included for: FTP, pcntl (Process control), Sockets, XML, zlib (gzip, etc)

- Lighttpd (latest version, the number escapes me at the moment)
- Modules for: Authentication, Aliases, CGI

Tested working on Diablo, it's very easy. Simply click the link, wait for application manager to open and install.
