The openZIM project exists 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 2007/2008 published by Directmedia contained beside the proprietary reader for Windows for the first time the TntReader as open source software which ran on Linux and Mac OS X. As Directmedia does not publish Wikipedia on DVD further the openZIM project expanded and published the Zeno file format as the ZIM (Zeno IMproved) file format. All necessary software and documentation which was made by openZIM is released under GPL. | |||
The openZIM is present at LinuxTag from June 24th to 27th in Berlin on booth 113a (hall 7.2a). More information at: http://openzim.org/ or http://www.linuxtag.de/. | |||
