WikipediaFS

View and edit Wikipedia articles as if they were real files.

WikipediaFS is a mountable Linux virtual file system that enables you to deal with Wikipedia (or any Mediawiki-based site) articles as if they were real files.

It is thus possible to use a real text editor to view and edit articles.

It is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License and provided without any warranty of any kind.

Features

• Read and edit articles.
• User configuration (cache time, sites).
• Login to enable editing with one's username.

Current status

For short:

• WikipediaFS depends on the python bindings for fuse. Unfortenately, previous stable releases are not available from the official web site anymore.
• The development version, which is the only currently available from the the official web site, is not compatible with WikipediaFS. Don't use it with WikipediaFS!
• Our policy is to wait until the bindings get released before making WikipediaFS compatible with them.
• In the interim, the following package of the bindings, which comes from Debian, may work for you.
• Debian is currently the distribution that has probably the best support for WikipediaFS. WikipediaFS is currently packaged in Debian using previous releases of the bindings.
