'''Hyperopia''' is a planned wikieditor framework for editing a subset of a wiki while offline. It will support synchronizing with source wikis when online again - pushing any local changes made and/or pulling new updates from it. |

== Related bugs == |
|||
;Fixing the wikibrowse toolchain so creating new wikislices works |
|||
: <trac>10510</trac> - make wikipedia.xo work on F11 and F14 |
|||
: <trac>10526</trac> - sync mwlib with the latest version upstream. |
|||
== Default format == |
|||
In theory, hyperopia could work with multiple formats. The current format being used is that of [[Wikibrowse]]. Documents are stored in wikimarkup to simplify updates and changes. Initial support is provided for MediaWiki, including templates and math markup. |
|||
== Updates == |
|||
Updates will be posted to the source wiki using three-way diffs to simplify the process. When this seems too complicated, the update can be posted to a new page, and a link to the diff b/t it and the latest revision posted to the artucke talk page. |
|||
'complicated' is a customizable concept; in conservative cases this can mean 'when an intervening edit has occurred'; at the other end of the spectrum 'when a merge conflict cannot be reasonably resolved'. |
|||
== Creating a new snapshot == |
|||
There are few complete tools for creating new snapshots. Part of the Hyperopia framework will be simple methods for generating these in a suitable format. |
|||
Currently the Collections extension for mediawiki makes it easy to create a Zim export of a set of articles. That is a good example of an interface/workflow for compiling and downloading a snapshot, but does not yet export to a format that would support lossless editing and republishing of changes. |
|||
=== Creating large snapshots === |
|||
Snapshots such as Wikipedia for Schools, or WikiBrowse, or Wikipedia 1.0, are 100M to 10+G in size. |
|||
We need a better workflow for creating these sorts of snapshots - which teams of people currently spend a lot of time creating, partly by hand and with one-off scripts. A sample interface might include the following options: |
|||
;snapshot source material |
|||
<pre> |
|||
"snapshot type" (wiktionary, abridged wikipedia, wikipedia by |
|||
category, wikisource, other/custom ...) |
|||
</pre> |
|||
'' Here one could include some v. specific custom options; "1000 articles every <PROJECTNAME> should have", &c. An option to browse existing snapshots could replace this choice and the manual choice of parameters. '' |
|||
;snapshot parameters |
|||
<pre> |
|||
"language[s]" |
|||
"articles" (trusted only, by popularity, by wp1.0 score, all) |
|||
"article stubs" (yes, no, only popular ones) |
|||
"article length" (1st para, lede, summary, full) |
|||
"image size" (none, thumbnails, full) |
|||
"target size" (<50M, 200M, 1G, 4G, 16G, 64G, any size) |
|||
"image % of total" (none, 20%, 50%, 80%) |
|||
"templates" (yes, no, oh please no) |
|||
</pre> |
|||
;export format[s] |
|||
<pre> |
|||
"export format" (zim, wikireader, woip, mw-xml, pdf, odt) |
|||
</pre> |
|||
'' Here pdf and odt would simply be very long, somewhat unorganized collections, like a traditional encyclopedia; with autogenerated metadata - TOCs, page numbers, &c. There could be more specific export formats, such as an '''XO''' format which wrapped a woip or mw-xml export into the directory structure and zipfile needed for a new .xo file. '' |
|||
Some of the choices above would limit the selection available for the others. |
|||
'WP by category' could include some of the larger sorts of snapshots |
|||
that can currently be generated as books - especially if one can |
|||
update those automatically with page-scoring and wikitrust data. New |
|||
custom snapshots could start from existing snapshots, combining them |
|||
or extending them to a different set of languages. |

Hyperopia is a planned wikieditor framework for editing a subset of a wiki while offline. It will support synchronizing with source wikis when online again - pushing any local changes made and/or pulling new updates from it.
