Cool; thanks for the update.
I think you have the wrong url for the English version; it should be download (torrent).

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

Thank you, fixed.

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

Was the smaller, "Simple English" wikipedia updated as well?

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

Wow, 7GB. Is there a smaller version with core info?

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

Simple English Wikipedia is updated relatively often, current version is compiled from May 6 dump, will be updated soon to June.

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

Yes, it's big. On a bright side - it contains a lot of information (~3.4 million articles) :)

No, there isn't, sorry. If there is a good (not involving manual process) way to make a meaningful article selection that can be considered core - I'd like to hear about it.

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

The Simple English Wikipedia is a good compromise. Its small, but has a good chunk of information in it.

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

Simple English wiki is small and useful, but it's way too small compared to English. It would be nice to have something in the middle, but it looks like the only reliable way to do it is to have humans review and select the articles - I know http://pediapress.com and http://schools-wikipedia.org do that.

Re: Wikipedia for Aard Dictionary updated
 

if they publish a list of good/useful articles, then it would not be too hard for aardc to skip articles not on the list. though you would end up with a dead links in articles.

what might be nice would be to put the top articles in one fille, and then create extra files, that add in the less common articles.

maybe we can get the info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ST
