I have written a very rudimentary wikipedia offline reader. It can be
downloaded at
http://test.wikipedia.org/upload/WINOL.zip
This contains the current source (GPL), and a Windows exe. You'll also
need the SQL dump (better stick to en;-)
For those few how tried the last version: Get this one! It doesn't need
the conversion anymore, it reads the articles right from the SQL file.
You'll have to run the "Tools/Index" once on the SQL file, though. This
will create a ~4 MB index of the article titles and the position of
their data set in the SQL file. Takes about 1 min.
Don't expect too much from this version. You can browse the 'pedia, read
all the text and see most of the formatting, but that's about it. No
images, no offline edit, no search function. Yet.
