<h1>WikipediaFS</h1>

<p><em>View and edit Wikipedia articles as if they were real files.</em></p>

<p>WikipediaFS is a mountable Linux virtual file system that enables you to deal
with <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a> (or
any <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki">Mediawiki</a>-based
site) articles as if they were real files.</p>

<p>It is thus possible to use a real text editor to view and edit
articles.</p>

<p>It is <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>,
covered by the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public
License</a> and provided without any warranty of any kind.</p>

<h2>Features</h2>

<ul>
<li>Read and edit articles.</li>
<li>User configuration (cache time, sites).</li>
<li>Login to enable editing with one's username.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Download</h2>

<p><strong>Latest version:</strong> 0.2</p>

<p><a
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133079">Download
area</a></p>

<p>See the <a href="README.txt">README</a> file and the <a
href="mount.wikipediafs.htm">manual page</a>.</p>

<h2>Current status</h2>

<p>For short:</p>

<ul>
<li>WikipediaFS depends on the python bindings for fuse. Unfortunately, previous
stable releases are not available from the <a
href="http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FusePython">official
web site</a> anymore.</li>
<li>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!</li>
<li>Our policy is to wait until
the bindings get released before making WikipediaFS compatible with
them.</li>
<li>In the interim, the <a href="python-fuse-2.5.tar.bz2">following</a> package
of the bindings, which comes from Debian, may work for you.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
