Release: Wikimedia by moulin in French

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 02:43:02 +0100

Please, welcome this new fat french version of moulin.
Sized 1.5GB, it includes:

• Wikipedia
• Wiktionary
• Wikiquote
• Wikibooks
• Wikisource
• Wikiversity

It’s a major release featuring loads of improvements since last one.

Due to Wikipedia’s grow, this new release doesn’t fit on a single CD-R. Present version is a 1.5GB iso which you can burn on a DVD-R or extract to a USB stick.

We will release in the coming weeks a 2CDs version including small fixes and speed improvement: search engine is currently quite slow on Wikipedia and Wiktionary.

Now, go download it !

Thanks for your support !
