Wikislices

A Wikislice is a collection of materials gathered from a public wiki and packaged into a reusable form. Common examples are topical wikislices from Wikipedia, resulting in books such as the "Solar system" wikijunior text and various wikireaders. Tools used to make wikislices are regular expression toolkits.

See User:ZdenekBroz and the library grid for some examples.

Code libraries

• KsanaForge and their KsanaWiki project have a set of scripts that process raw xml dumps from MediaWiki. They are working on producing read-only flash drives and SD cards for distribution.
• Linterweb, developer of one of the freely-available static selections of Wikipedia, has an open source toolchain for building it; they are also working on wiki search engines (see Kiwix) and have offered to help build the local-filesystem search for the journal.
• The Moulinwiki project and Renaud Gaudin have a toolchain from processing html output from the MediaWiki parser. They are now combining forces with Linterweb.
• PediaPress has an "mwlib" library for parsing mediawiki text which is freely available
• the "Wikipedia 1.0" team and Andrew Cates (user:BozMo on en:wp) is using their own scripts to generate and review static collections from a list of constantly changing wiki articles.
