Hey, I'm pretty new to programming but I like your project, and I thought I might try to create a zim file. I was thinking of using the "Subjects Taught in Medical School" category from wikipedia and making a special zim file for med students. Will I be able to do that if I review my Perl and hack away at the scripts posted here? Ab1 00:45, 31 August 2011 (CEST)

Convert xml dump into zim
The present method of generating an zim file is insanely time-consuming and complicated: Setting up an local media wiki and x hours of converting back and forth just for the one zim file? Isn't (or won't) be there a way of just converting an xml dump straight into the zim format? That would be much easier and less hassle. --Arisboch 18:02, 20 June 2012 (CEST)
- This is not possible for now because the XML dump content is wikitext and the ZIM file content is HTML. Kelson 21:06, 20 June 2012 (CEST)
