Hi!

Version 3 of Evopedia, the offline Wikipedia reader for (not only) maemo has now been available in Extras-testing for quite a while. Unfortunately there is no recent dump for the English edition of Wikipedia. Evopedia uses a compressed database of pre-rendered article pages (called dump) to deliver articles even faster than when reading them online. The drawback of this strategy is the amount of time needed to pre-render every single article when creating such a dump. This is the reason why there is no current English dump yet.

To remedy this situation, dump at home was created: A system for distributed rendering of Wikipedia pages. If you have a Linux computer with some spare CPU cycles and want to have a recent English (or any other edition, but at the moment, English has priority) Wikipedia dump, please consider joining the project. More information is available on the dump at home project site: http://dumpathome.evopedia.info/contribute
Note that the platform is still in some kind of beta state, so please forgive me if there are still some bugs (and please also report them).

Thanks for your time and interest in the project.
