[Wikireader] wikipedia offline reading

[Martin Walker]

Yes, Tommi, I believe you're right; WP: Version 0.5 included the Kiwix 
offline search engine bundled with the article collection.  Since 
WP:Version 0.5 came out one year ago, Linterweb has done a lot of 
development work, and (if I understand correctly) the Version 0.7 (later 
this year?) will probably include the Wikiwix search engine, which has 
an online version:
http://www.wikiwix.com/

For recent work, Emmanuel Engelhard or Renaud Gaudin can probably shed a 
lot more light than I can.
