[Server-devel] [UKids] Internet-in-a-Box 2.0 PREVIEW

[Tim Moody]

Hi Bishnu,

 

Actually if you use xsce, there is a graphical user interface that will allow you to select by language all of the wiki type content from the url Adam mentions and download and unzip it to a location where the kiwix server can render it. In your case, since you have your own server, you could use xsce as a staging machine to make life easier.

 

For OSM, Anish has freshly generated India and Nepal and can give you a link.

 

Tim

Hi Adam,

Glad to hear that IIAB 2.0 is out. The content looks great.

 

We, olenepal, are distriubting IIAB content(wikipedia, OSM etc) integrating with our offline e-pustakalaya content. Hence could we get the direct link to download such content seperately?

 

Yes, many of the pieces are directly downloadable here, if you do not wish to order a disk:
http://download.kiwix.org/portable/

Tim Moody, Emmanuel Engelhart and a growing team of very experienced content-packagers (in the US especially, so far) will also be evolving much higher quality youth-oriented subsets of Wikipedia this year.  Directly education-relevant far more than in the past: not just for schools/libraries but also for after-school programs and die-hard passionate parents/families/kids/teachers etc.

Watch for releases in+around June, of these colorful new 10GB-and-larger Wikipedia treasure troves -- starting in English, French and Spanish -- and containing many more high-resolution maps, historical photographs and increasingly videos than in the past.  Won't happen overnight but it's coming =)

 

Thanks,

Bishnu

We have 795GB in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, Khmer, Malay, Burmese and Haitian Creole.  Hard disks are shipped out to those in need, particularly useful for those implementing XSCE 6.0 (http://schoolserver.org) which will be released very shortly, in not so many days.

IIAB 2.0 (Internet-in-a-Box 2.0) Summary Contents List:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RXzapvzvGRxPoJk0v9Wsdn0Wv02M-iokY6jZ8BQDh9U


 

Last-minute revisions will be considered before final release if there are special requests -- and late-breaking, larger suggestions will be accepted as part of IIAB 2.1.

Thanks all for your feedback & thanks to all who've helped year after year!!
