[Wikipedia-l] Static Wikipedia (was: attribution policy)

Wed Nov 14 16:16:59 UTC 2001

David brought up the idea of publishing some Wikipedia documents as
part of the Linux Documentation Project. That reminded me of an old
idea: publish a snapshot of the Wikipedia as a downloadable set of
static HTML pages that people can use without a net connection, and
that could also be burned on CD. No wiki.cgi script needed. If someone
clicks on an edit link or RecentChanges, they are directed to the
corresponding life Wikipedia page.

By the way, it would be nice if the wikipedia tarballs could be
updated, to encourage experimentation like this.
