Building a (fast) Wikipedia offline reader... in two days (!)

Building a (fast) Wikipedia offline reader:

"It's strong points:
* Very fast searching
* Keyword (actually, title words) based searching
* Search produces multiple possible articles: you can choose amongst them
* LaTEX based rendering for Mathematics (thanks to the guys at woc.fslab.de)
* Harddisk space is minimal: the original .bz2 file (split in pieces) plus the index built through Xapian
* Orders of magnitude faster to install (a matter of hours) compared to loading the 'dump' into MySQL"

--> testen!!
