mokopedia brings the whole wikipedia to your openmoko phone even while being
offline because all articles will reside on an attached microSD card.

Hi All,



In the sight of upcoming delivery of our 10-pack, we wanted to get ready

to do some testing on the spot, ie when we get together and open our

boxes, to power then up and try to make sure that all of them work in

the 'similar' fashion (GPS, GSM, etc) so if there is a defective unit,

we could localize it easily since we will have a few of them and a few

of SIM cards to try ;-)



But if smth doesn't work, of cause, the best way is to lookup on the

wiki and we will not have (I think) internet connection on the spot. I

thought if it is possible to gently (smth not like wget -m

http://www.openmoko.org) obtain a copy of openmoko.org's mediawiki

content.



Brief googling lead me to few possible solutions (unfortunately

not non-intrusive into openmoko's wiki setup) such as



Mediawiki offline (thanks to Google Gears):

http://wiki.yobi.be/wiki/Mediawiki_LocalServer



But I wonder may be there is simpler/better ones like a dump of DB

without account information credentials, etc? Something like what

wikipedia offers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

(which they actually closed and I see the reason with their sizes), but

they also seems to have a workaround
