#363 Wikivoyage .zim

[Anonymous]

A .zim of the entire wikitravel would be unbelievably helpful. I have been on the road traveling the corners of the world for the last few years and can tell you that the majority of backpackers have laptops with them these days and that wikitravel being made available would instantly create a good reason to use kiwix for many people who up to now are unaware of it. It would also be a great way to spread awareness/support for the project!

With the incorporation of wikivoyages to the WMF, this will be easier.

Agree. a wikivoyage zim file would be great, be it on computer/smartphone/tablet.
Talk about it there: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikivoyage/Archive/2012-11-16
but no evolution for now.

As for wikipedia, an easy way to generate regularly (1/month ? or 3 months) a zim file would really help.

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

Yes for Wikivoyage. Should be easier now that this is hosted at the WMF.

I have released a ZIM file of Wikivoyage:

Wikivoyage's content has been improved a lot in 2 months, any new ZIM?

[Nicolas Raoul]

It would be great to put a link to Wikivoyage ZIM at kiwix.org or rename http://kiwix.org/wiki/Wikipedia_in_all_languages and use it.

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

Yes, this needs a small rewrite of http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Template:ZIMdumps to allow different types of content.
