The openZIM project has existed since February 2009. The ancestor was the TntReader project, which followed a call by Directmedia to develop an open source reader application for the Zeno file format. Directmedia defined this format to publish Wikipedia on a DVD. The last DVD of 2007/2008, published by Directmedia, contained the proprietary reader for Windows for the first time, with the TntReader, as open source software which ran on Linux and Mac OS X. As Directmedia does not publish Wikipedia on DVD any more, the openZIM project expanded and published the Zeno file format as the ZIM (Zeno IMproved) file format.
