:This email tells you how it is done, you can get more information [http://openzim.org/wiki/Build_your_ZIM_file available here]. There is no easy way to create ZIM files from the XML/Wikicode, but what you propose will certainly work. The idea is not that everybody creates ZIM files of Wikipedia with millions of entries, but that we create them and other use them. But, we really want to provide all Wikipedia ZIM file at least with a new version per month. If you need a ZIM file which is not already available, open a feature request.

:: The email says what tools were used, but not how. As you now know, I've already read the page you linked, which doesn't even mention mwoffliner (this should probably be fixed by somebody who understands mwoffliner). The documentation for mwoffliner helps, but seems to want to be used with the online servers instead of dumps, which is wasteful and slow; that's why I'm trying to figure out how to combine it with the dumps. I don't actually want to do Wikipedia myself; I want several other English Wikimedia projects ''and the corresponding pictures'' (if I didn't want the images I'd just use the dumps, a local Wikimedia install, Wiki2html and zimwriterfs as mentioned on the page you linked). Is it still OK to open a feature request for English non-Wikipedia Wikimedia projects? And even if you did provide all these files, I'd still want to know ''how'' you generated them. --[[User:DanielH|DanielH]] ([[User talk:DanielH|talk]]) 05:27, 9 March 2014 (CET)
