From a cursory glance at the site and source code, it's really hard to see who/what is involved with building an archive. There's automated builds set up for the Pi image itself.
- pronoiac 7y agoAgreed. I can see that other Wikipedia languages are crawled - https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages shows dozens of updates this week - but the best leads I have involve poking around the openZIM Github org, https://github.com/openzim https://github.com/openzim . There might be a running "zimfarm" somewhere?
- bshep 7y agoLooks like you are right, you may be able to join the farm to help ( i have not tested as I am away from my computer at the moment ) https://github.com/openzim/zimfarm/blob/master/worker/README.md https://github.com/openzim/zimfarm/blob/master/worker/README...
- voltagex_ 7y agoSomeone should ask drone.io or packet.net for an Epyc machine to do this.
- jedieaston 7y agoYou can build your own ZIMs from any MediaWiki instance using this tool: https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner. Maybe it would be worth putting together another zimfarm that is constantly updating.
- Nemo_bis 7y agoThe last time I checked, it was more a problem of lacking servers with sufficient resources: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124960 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124960 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219078 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219078 It sure doesn't harm if someone creates their own ZIM files and reports on their results (and/or shares the resulting files).
