It's nice to see a python toolchain for this (though I don't see any code at that url?) They exist in other languages as well. We've been working with Linterweb's Kiwix (<a href="http://kiwix.org">kiwix.org</a>) and the Schools-Wikipedia, which use their own toolchains. <br>
<br>Alecu, take a look at the [[wikislice]] project on the olpc wiki and en wikipedia. We're looking to improve available tools, particularly in terms of giving slice-creators detailed options about the ratio of media to text.<br>
<br>SJ<br><br>ps - I don't see code at the google-code url... and "cdpedia" is a name used by a few existing projects, some commercial; you might want to choose another name.<br>
<br>pps - Martin: simple: is nice, but not of uniform quality<br>

Yesterday we had a mini-sprint with argentinian pythonistas and we<br>
discussed Alecu's CDPedia which is a Python toolchain that does are<br>
good job of cutting a slice of wikipedia and cutting off the least<br>
interesting parts to make it fit. His project is here<br>
<br>
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/cdpedia/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/cdpedia/</a><br>
<br>
and it would be great if Alecu could explain a bit more what it does<br>
-- I am sure I didn't do it any justice above ;-)<br>
So - Alecu, meet the list, list, say hi to Alecu ;-)<br><br></blockquote></div>
