Get Wikipedia Via RSS

crashlmc · 09-22-2005, 11:40 AM

Hello All,

I just read the post on Yahoo MSG to RSS and thought I should post a similar resource: Wikipedia Via RSS.

The feed works for every topic (just replace Topic_name with the exact wikipedia topic to the end of url).

Url format: http://www.blinkbits.com/rssfeeds/wi...p?w=Topic_name

Example: http://www.blinkbits.com/rssfeeds/wi...?w=Derek_Jeter

Here are some notes about the feed:

All feeds include attribution back to wikipedia and the GNU comment so please do not use the feed without providing wikipedia proper attribution etc...
The feed is cached to prevent runtime queries of Wikipedia.
The latest version validates but it still needs some formatting work on some wikipedia pages that use tables, images, etc... We'd love to improve upon this even more and publish it under an open-source license so let me know if you are interested in helping put the finishing touches on the feed

Or you can get it on your PPC or Palm using TomeRaider, the entire thing. Mind you you need a GIG card.
