Okawix for Android released as Open Source software

Filed under: Uncategorized — Matthieu @ 10:25

For already a few years, Okawix for PC, the off-line Wikipedia reader that was developed by the web company Linterweb, has been available as Open Source software.
It is now the turn of its little brother, Okawix for Android, to be released as Open Source. All those interested may watch and possibly improve the source code of our program, that is available at the following address: http://okawix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/okawix/trunk/android/.

Take care 🙂 Matthieu.

Linterweb is a web company that, for now several years, has been developing various Wikipedia oriented programs, including:

  • Wikiwix, a semantic web search engine that gives only results out of the databases of the Wikimedia online casino Foundation projects; My Wikiwix, your own search engine for your own website; wikiwix.mobi, a mobile version of Wikiwix;
  • Okawix, the offline Wikipedia browser free of copyrights and free of charge that allows you to read offline the articles of the various Wikimedia Foundation projects, as well as archives of your own website;
  • a DVD of around 2000 articles from the English speaking Wikipedia; a USB flash drive that contains the version 0.7 of the English speaking Wikipedia;
  • a program that archives the external web pages of the Wikipedia articles (that is, the web pages outside Wikipedia but linked from a Wikipedia article), so that their content remains available and that those external links don’t get broken; this program is used automatically, in particular, for all external links of the French speaking Wikipedia.
