== 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. --[[User:Arisboch|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. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 21:06, 20 June 2012 (CEST) | |||
::So won't be there some ingenous programmes who let ... some kinda programm handle all this converting form xml into html and then into zim without this whole installing of a mediawiki?--[[User:Arisboch|Arisboch]] 21:44, 20 June 2012 (CEST) | |||
:::This program is a wikitext parser... and for now, we only have one good, this is the Mediawiki one. But we will generate soon ZIM file for all projects... so just be a little bit patient. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 21:47, 20 June 2012 (CEST) | |||
::::I'm not talking only about mediawiki, I'm talking about any wiki (wikis from wikia or any other)... The current moethod is simply too complicated!--[[User:Arisboch|Arisboch]] 23:22, 20 June 2012 (CEST) | |||
:::::I agree, but xmltozim is not the solution. We work to improve that point... [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 09:16, 21 June 2012 (CEST) | |||
