A bold plan

  • To rewrite a new indexer, to support the original articles.xml.bz2 from Wikipedia + a small separated title-index file (to save a lot of downloading time from 3rd-party sharing sites).
    - almost done,
    e.g. xml.bz2 like the 400MB Chinese one, indexed into three files of total 26MB, further compressed as 12MB.
  • To rewrite the TitleIndex, WikiMarkupGetter, WikiMarkupParser, Main, Settings in order to support the change above.
  • Ajax-Polling for template - the timeout in Safari is too short for the most complicated templates.
  • JSMath integration: rendering-on-demand.
