Evaluate miraheze.org

[kelson42]

This might be interesting to see if we could collaborate with Miraheze to be able to provie a full toolchain from content creation to offline usage.

@JohnFLewis ?

Hi,

Taking a look around this is very much something we can potentially do - and we'd love to see if it can go anywhere.

[LeBern]

I would really like to be made aware of whatever happen with that project :-) @JohnFLewis

[kelson42]

@LeBern First thing tondo IMO, would be to try to scrape one of the wikis hosted by miraheze.org. Wouldnyou have a preference?

[LeBern]

What about All the tropes ? https://allthetropes.org/wiki/

[Popolechien]

@LeBern Different website -> please open a separate ticket (you should see a "new issue" button near the top right of this screen)

[kelson42]

@LeBern This is hosted on Miraheze?

[LeBern]

Well, I think it is : https://allthetropes.org/wiki/All_The_Tropes:History
Since 2015 if I'm correct

[kelson42]

Have created a recipe here https://farm.openzim.org/recipes/all_the_tropes

[labster]

If you need any settings changed on allthetropes.org, @Arcane21 or myself can approve it from the community point of view. We'd definitely be happy to see an offline version of our wiki.

[kelson42]

@labster Thank you for your offer! Would that be possible to activate Parsoid/VE on the "All the Tropes" wiki?

[labster]

Parsoid and VE is enabled, but you need to click to turn it on as a beta feature. At least, I did.

@JohnFLewis @labster @LeBern We have finally a ZIM of the "All the Tropes" wiki, see https://farm.openzim.org/recipes/all_the_tropes. I have created a tag "miraheze" in the zimfarm so we can identify your wikis easily.

To my opinion, at this stage:

• we can say that we should/would be able to easily create ZIM of any of the Miraheze wikis.
• we should setup a call if we want to deepen a the collaboration and better benefit of each other expertise.

[kelson42]

No feedback here, I suspect for the moment the conditions are not gathered for a closer partnership. At least we know it works technically. Let close this ticket for the moment an retry in a while.

[JohnFLewis]

@kelson42 I've just stumbled upon this again after a while, I'd be interested in re-opening discussion over this from a Miraheze-wide view point. Let me know what you think.

[kelson42]

@JohnFLewis Thank you for coming back to us. Would you be available at some point for a short call on this topic? I would like to better understand how you work and how we could setup something smartly. You can join me per email: kelson ^at^ kiwix.org.

[JohnFLewis]

I'll arrange something in the next day or two with you via email.

Miraheze is winding down unfortunately

[labster]

No, Miraheze is not winding down. We just had some drama and now we're doing some reorganization. I will be serving as Executive Director soon.

Also hi @kelson42, we haven't talked in a while and I hope you're doing well.

[kelson42]

@labster Hi, nice feedback and great news :) Reopening the ticket then.
