[Server-devel] Schools Wikipedia

[David Leeming]

What's the best way to automate this, so it starts up when the XS is started
without the need for people to enter the python server command line?


Hi,

   > The current Wikipedia activities already work as web servers on
   > the XS, and require much less space due to the content being
   > compressed -- for Spanish, 25,000 articles and 3,000 images in
   > 100MB.

David pointed out that this isn't actually documented anywhere.  :)

Here's the HOWTO.  On a fresh XS, for English WP:

$ wget http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/enwiki/WikipediaEN-4.xo
$ unzip WikipediaEN-4.xo 
$ cd WikipediaEN.activity/
$ python server.py en_US_g1g1/en_US_g1g1.xml.bz2 4567

.... then you can browse to http://schoolserver:4567/ on an XO or other
machine.

For Spanish, get http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/eswiki/Wikipedia-11.xo and
replace en_US_g1g1 with es_PE.

- Chris.
