A different solution would be to write a plugin for the 800 that would generate a wiki page on the fly from the 5.5GB article bz7 database that you can find at Wikipedia itself ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_database). That would require a bit of programming to put it together, but it would be of a reasonable size at that point. It would certainly be an interesting concept, as it would be very nice to have wikipedia for offline browsing on a reader. |
I'm working on porting
http://users.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~tt...iaOffline.html to run on the DR, but it requires building python and php and I'm not sure how it'll run in the limited amount of memory we have. Should clock in with a couple spare gigs on an 8GB card.
