A quick FAQ about existing and future snapshots of the English Wikipedia.
For information on German snapshots, see
m:Wikipedia on CD/DVD and more detailed pages on de:WP.
For information on multilingual snapshots, see pages here and on meta about the Mandrake collaboration (links?).
To be created: a global page on meta about snapshots in all languages.
Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0, a project about generating a reviewed layer for Wikipedia content, has side-discussions about [re]using snapshots of such a beast.
Wikipedia:Stable versions looks are producing static and reviewed versions of articles most suitable from print at any given time.
A
collaboration with Mandriva (formerly
Mandrakesoft) which is underway has led people to think about preparing a DVD of English Wikipedia content similar to the existing one of German content; this gave impetus to the
Wikipedia:Image tagging project last fall but has not solved many other problems:
finding good free software for reading/searching through such a snapshot; working out kinks in integrating this with a database dump
effectively stripping and reformatting pages;
removing articles with certain tags (vfd, et al)
catching recent vandalism; searching through changes made in the past week and particularly those in the past few days for suspicious edits
details for the image and multimedia dump; both auto-extraction of the appropriate files and attributions from en:WP or commons, and resizing images / storing multiple resized versions as necessary for the reader
MediaWiki 1.5 includes routines to dump a wiki to HTML, rendering the HTML with the same parser used on a live wiki. (details of use?)
Early discussions of creating a German DVD,
on Meta, list a number of separate projects dating back to 2003 which have largely been mothballed. Directmedia's
