Offline Wikipedia for Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Did you know that it's possible to view the content of the biggest and most 
| widely used online encyclopedia without the need for Internet connectivity? 
| That's right, Wikipedia, with over 10 million articles in 253 languages can 
| be viewed offline in your Linux box anytime, anywhere.

KDE and Wikimedia Start Collaboration

,----[ Quote ]
| KDE e.V and Wikimedia Deutschland have opened a shared office in Frankfurt, 
| Germany. As two organizations that share similar goals and organizational 
| challenges, they hope that working out of the same space will strengthen and 
| expand their links to the Free Culture community, as well as allowing them to 
| share resources, experience and infrastructure.

Mount Wikipedia As A Virtual Filesystem

,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to WikipediaFS, Wikipedia fiends tired of reloading pages
| in the browser can now, provided they?re using Linux, mount the
| site as a virtual filesystem.
| 
| WikipediaFS is a mountable Linux virtual file system that enables
| you to view and edit Wikipedia (or any Mediawiki-based site)
| articles as if they were real files.

Wikipedia founder hunts for gold

,----[ Quote ]
| Wales also puts his faith in the open-source model. He cites Linux
| reseller Red Hat (Charts), a for-profit company built on top of a
| free, open-source software foundation. Many doubted Red Hat could
| build a profitable business around something as defiantly
| not-for-profit as Linux, but the Raleigh, N.C., company proved
| them wrong. Third-quarter revenue for Red Hat was $105.8
| million in 2006, up 45 percent from the previous year.
