"OpenZim" - if you have used the function on the wiki to make a "book" you maybe have noticed that besides PDF and ODT as export option there is also "OpenZim".

Kiwix is the program you need for that. It is a project to offer a offline reader for Wikipedia. The have just released a new beta-version, version 0.9. Supported are; GNU/Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Kiwix provides a user experiences that is very close to reading the live wiki. You can view a selection of articles you have bundled yourself or someone else, like The Signpost (see "book edition").
You can also download the database of a specific language edition of a Wikipedia. This gives a very convenient way to have a offline version of Wikipedia.

PS; do not confuse it with "kwiki" when installing form repository.
