Hi,
Sorry for the lack of updates guys (my internet connection has been erratic).
For jewman - the HTML conversion software basically means that anything in simple web page format can be viewed in the wiki (within limits). This means much more than just Wikimedia content! The only restriction is that it must be available to download in a convenient way (which Wikimedia provides).
I noticed someone mentioned Wiktionary. Over the last few days I have already been converting the wiktionary into the format used by my wiki reader. (I had thought that it was a good starting point to test the reader). It works well (looks good although there are a few glitches with the conversion). It takes a while to do the conversion (about 1-2 topics a second) but this can be greatly improved with better software. Screenshots of the plugin running the Wiktionary to follow in the next day or so
. I have implemented a very basic search feature (only returns topics with the search string at the beginning of the name and it is quite slow) but there is room for loads of improvement.
Also for an interesing thought...a program which compiles the contents of a mailbox and generates a wiki allowing you to view e-mails on your Rockbox! Could be sync'ed with a program when you connect your jukebox to your PC. (I have slapped together a program to do this on my mailbox (which is in unix Maildir format) but it would need to be converted to be available with more popular formats (eg POP & IMAP). But so far...looks really cool.
Am I right in saying that TheCowBoX created a website for the project? (I'm too lazy to look through the whole thread). Is it still a go-er? Something that we could use to collect our ideas would be great (I think it is too big a project to have integrated with rockbox yet). An update mailing list would also be useful so that people can be informed of any major headway/releases.
