Patrick-

thanks for the clarification. Now you’re running into the same problem as I. The Wiki-Server comes with the indexer as source code, but as you can see in this blog, a lot of people are having problems running the indexer and creating the index.

What I really like is to have one package containing everything.The problem is to find a website which hosts such a large files.

Hey — I’m the author of the app, and just a heads up to note that it is completely language independent. Just download the source, and run sh/process on any dump of your choice. During development, I tested it with German and Irish versions in addition to English.

There also is this Wiki app– http://trac2.assembla.com/iPhonePedia/wiki

Have not tried it yet but will.

I tried Patrick’s app and
a) it shows a lot of promise (smaller size, improved searched) but
b) is a little too buggy
b) I have yet to find a redirect that works

So I removed Patrick’s app — staying with Tom’s and will know try the app in the above link.

Hi, im very excited to se wikipedia ports on the iphone. Keep up the good work, im very thankful. Perhaps you should go together (one working on fronted, while the other on backend). Or opensource like Patrick, for mutual benefits.

I must say that for now the 2GB size of Patricks database is the killer feature for now.
