:: Worked for me now - I've moved to build 649. Most of it seems to work really well, and I think it is a great idea for an Activity. Could you possibly document how to add other wikilibraries? I'd really like to be able to access the full text based wikipedia dumps that are made available [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download here]], maybe from an external USB key (don't know if this is possible). Also - I couldn't get '''Alice's Adventures In Wonderland''' to load - is this because of the apostrophe?

Could not install

I tried installing wiki browse directly on a B4 machine, by opening the .xo activity from the Browse Activity, then Resuming it from the Journal. Eventually the journal opened, but was consuming 100% CPU time and moving very slowly. When I Resumed the WikiBrowse activity, it appeared on the activity dock, but wouldn't start up.

I'm using Build623 on a B4 with CL1 Q2004 Q2D firmware. --172.207.55.110 16:31, 29 November 2007 (EST)
