      I don't see an entry for "lists.wikimedia.org" at http://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/backup-index.html/

      Where are you seeing it?

          Ah. Thanks for the screenshot.

          This is a link to MediaWiki's mailing list server

          XOWA doesn't support the mailarchive: protocol. I'll add it at a later point, but it's not that useful as it just links out to the web (XOWA is meant to be run offline)

    what is http://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/wikimania2013wiki/latest/

    I would assume it is for http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_page

    I'm not planning on adding these one-time wikis to XOWA's import list. However, if you're adventurous, you can try importing it yourself.

    • Download the .xml.bz2 file: http://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/wikimania2013wiki/latest/wikimania2013wiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2
    • Save it to /xowa/wiki/wikimania2013.wikimedia.org
    • Go to home/wiki/Help:Import/Script
    • Change "Wiki" to "Other"
    • Change "Where to get the dump" to "read from file"
    • Click "..." and select the file at /xowa/wiki/wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wikimania2013wiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2
    • Click "Generate script". You should get a script like the section below
    • Click "Run script". The wiki should import

    // import wiki from dump file
    app.setup.cmds.cmd_add("wiki.dump_file", "C:\xowa\wiki\wikimania2013.wikimedia.org\wikimania2013wiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2", "", "unzip");

    I'm marking this as a PFE for now. I'll add some code to auto-adjust mailarchive: to http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/. However, given that these links are to online resources, and XOWA is an offline app, the priority level is low.
