Zipedia Description

Zipedia is an offline Wikipedia browser for Firefox. Zipedia is an offline Wikipedia browser for Firefox.When you have no Internet, or when the Internet is so slow, wouldn't it be nice to be able to type (example) 'wikipedia://wiki/Egypt' for immediate offline access to a wikipedia article? You will still need to download the wikipedia XML dump for offline use (see below), but you will not need to run neither MySQL nor mediawiki - nor will you need Internet connection (except for viewing the article images, which will not be available offline). All the (readonly) wiki stuff will be done by firefox itself.Here are some key features of "Zipedia":· Page viewing: Articles, Talk, etc.· Search: Wildcard search by titleSetting Zipedia:· Go to Tools->Add-ons->zipedia->preferences. The wizard will guide you through the steps of downloading the wikipedia XML dump (~3G for the English wiki) and the conversion process, which could take a few hours.Developer commentsI got the idea for Zipedia while living in The Gambia, West Africa, where I experienced very slow internet or no connection at all.Requirements:· Firefox 2.0 - 3.0.*What's New in This Release:· Use firefox sqlite storage API for article title indexing and search· Firefox 3 compatibility· project tracking at http://zipedia.nargila.org/trac· Possible threading issue with Firefox 3 running on Linux.
