| Abstract | ||
|
openZIM is the succeeding project which is based on Zeno, a technical framework for offline content distribution discussed on Wikimania 2008. Since then a lot has happened eg. an open source project was founded and all source code and documentation created and released to the public. This presentation aims to both potential publisher of offline content (eg. Wikipedia DVDs) as well as to developers interested in solutions how to store and deliver hypertext content and other MIME types in an efficient way. The german Wikipedia DVDs from 2006 and 2007 are based on Zeno, the Kiwix release from 2008 uses an improved version of Zeno, the german Wikipedia released for LinuxTag 2009 is based on openZIM. | ||
