Wikireader : A separate list was started for wikireader discussions this week. (wikireader@lists.laptop.org) Guillaume Duhamel and Emmanuel Engelhart from Linterweb have an alpha Firefox extension for bundling a set of wiki articles and are extending this to work with their offline Kiwix search tools.
