[Wikireader] cdpedia and other reader-makers

[Tommi Mäkitalo]

Hi,

I've created a open source offline reader TntReader for the german wikipedia. 
It is based on my web application server Tntnet and written in C++.

The program is part of the german wikipedia DVD 2008. It runs on Linux, Mac 
OSX and other Unix systems. I've run it successfully also on a qemu-emulated 
olpc.

The german wikipedia is created by a publisher in Berlin - Directmedia. The 
defined a file format called zeno, which holds articles and images.

Currently I'm working on a zeno file writer, which enables us to create these 
zeno files with a open source tool. I plan to grab the wikipedia content 
directly from the web site or alternatively a local mediawiki installation. 
The data is first collected into a local database and then dumped into a zeno 
file.
