Help Wikipedia, Help Ourselves. My money is limited, but better than nothing. Same as one of the donators’ feelings, ‘just cann’t ignore the appeal everyday’.
Time to do something to show our appreciation now. I believe us.
Wiki2Touch(google code page here) has always been one of my favorite apps since day 1 when I get it. The feeling is great, you know, when you have no idea of something, you always can ask Wiki2Touch for the answer. Most of time, you will be satisfied. Besides, at that moment, you don have to be online. Terribly awesome, eh?
If you are a fan of Wiki2Touch and you now have the firmware 2.0 or 2.1, and you haven’t figure out how to get Wiki2Touch working on the iphone, I have a good news for you 
I googled a lot and finally find this post. It works.
The how-to is easy. But before that, make sure you already have this:
1. A jailbroke iphone on firmware 2.x(including 2.1) with OpenSSH successfully loaded.
2. The wikipedia data file(.bin) in your preferred language version.
Now download this wikipedia-auf-fw-201 to your computer, unzip it and then copy them to the phone by WinSCP(read my previous post here for more info) or your preferred client.
Then give 0755 permission to the server daemon \private\var\mobile\Media\Wikipedia\daemon\wikisrvd. Run daemon/wikisrvd -v -l zh & via Putty.
Open Safari and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html. And you are now supposed to see the familar homepage of Wiki2Touch.
Add this link to your bookmark and you are done. Anytime when you wanna find out something, use this bookmark in Safari.
I haven’t uploaded the image.bin to the phone, so not sure if the image functions well or not. Besides, the toggle button on BossPref.app doesn’t seem to be working in my case. Well, no big deal, i just leave it alone.
Any questions, just email me or leave a comment. Good luck.
Update(Dec.17,2008): image.bin works. Tested on my 2.2 iphone.
just learned from Xianguo Iphone(in Chinese) that the GFW-long-blocked Wikipedia has come to live. I tried the English and Chinese version and both work well.
The reason? I’m not sure, perhaps it’s because the around-the-corner Olympic Games.
Even though the access to the internet has proved still not completely open and free, those very knowledge intensive websites like wikipedia have got the chances of being unblocked by the government, at least during Games.
and here’s the screenshot.
