The "problem" is, that this application will run on every Linux box and not only on the OpenMoko platform but I ideally want to credit both: wikipedia and openmoko without making the impression that this is the OpenMoko Wiki or a wikipedia Editing Tool but simply an offline viewer for mobile linux devices.

Revision as of 20:20, 16 July 2007

(JoSch) I recently programmed a little Python app for being able to read *ALL* Wikipedia articles (german wikipedia) on my Nokia E70 Symbian phone. It tought me that a 4GB miniSD Card is (with a whole bunch of tweaks) enough for the (german) wikipedia and that Symbian programming really is *no* fun. So why not do this for OpenMoko instead?

Compression

what about compressing the data? probably wouldn't allow you to search, but hey. --Minime 16:21, 16 July 2007 (CEST)

(JoSch)I mentioned compression as an option in the article. It would be necessary to compress every single article on its own because it would be overkill to seek a few kilobytes in several GB compressed file every time. Then a title search could be made by filename but I think it's a better idea to have a title list file.
Compress the data in small portions - say 100K compressed - that can be decompressed in under a second.You probably want to use some sort of page-sorting-compressor - so that pages in one batch are similar - and will compress a bit better.
It sounds logical that electronics based articles together will compress better than random (of course - in reality)...
Then store a search-keyword database into this data.
Works well.

Project Name

Is Mokopedia a good name for this project? I also considered:

The "problem" is, that this application will run on every Linux box and not only on the OpenMoko platform but I ideally want to credit both: wikipedia and openmoko without making the impression that this is the OpenMoko Wiki or a wikipedia Editing Tool but simply an offline viewer for mobile linux devices.
