The [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DumpHTML Mediawiki DumpHTML extension] is the solution to export the dynamic generated HTML pages in a set of static HTML/Media files. This extension is the best way to get a good set of HTML pages from a Mediawiki (in comparison with a Web site mirroring tool for example).
* [[Mediawiki DumpHTML extension work]]
 
Unfortunately, they are few pain points:
* Not maintained, bugs are not fixed, new features are not implemented
* Only available for Mediawiki system admin
* Does not generate ZIM files
 
==== Workpackage1: Revamping and fixing bugs ====
 
The worth point is that the DumpHTML extension is not correctly maintained and with the time, [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&list_id=2671&component=DumpHTML&resolution=---&product=MediaWiki%20extensions many issues were discovered]. Currently, the extension is not really usable without fixing/tweaking the Mediawiki code.
 
The purpose of this work package is to fix the most critical bugs to achieve that everyone having a Mediawiki would be able to simply get a HTML dumps of his content and consequently being able to easily generate a ZIM file afterwards
 
After the revamping, the result should be perfect in HTML similar to what dumpHTML.pl does.
 
Delivarables:
* Revamping dumpHTML and fixing bugs (80-120 hours)
 
==== Workpackage2: phpzim creation an integration in DumpHTML extension ====
 
phpzim would be a new php module allowing to create/write and read ZIM file directly in PHP. This would be a binding of the zimlib, like pyzim in Python. With this library done, we will be able to create ZIM file directly from the DumpHTML.
 
To be able to get a ZIM file, the user will have to call dumpHTML.php and specify that he wants a ZIM file output (not a HTML dump) also some other meta informations like title, creator, etc.
 
So the user will need a system access where the Mediawiki instance runs and also to install phpzim (should be packaged).
 
Deliverables:
* phpzim (40 hours)
* updated dumpHTML (20 hours)
 
==== Workpackage3: Integrating Collection and DumpHTML extensions and new features ====
 
By integrating the DumpHTML and the Collection extension we want to give to everyone the capacity to easily create small ZIMs from the Wikipedia user interface with following advantages:
* exactly the same rendering as online
* no external dependency to install for the Mediawiki admin
* rendering done by MediaWiki (as fast as online browsing)
 
In addition we want to implement a few additional features (see the list of deliverables).
 
Deliverables:
* Book and DumpHTML integration (30 hours)
* DumpHTML parallel processing (15 hours)
* Build selection based on list of titles (20 hours)
* Create an offline skin for mobiles to make dumps for mobiles (15 hours)
* Make offline skin to avoid pictures (5 hours)
