Evopedia is an offline Wikipedia viewer. It allows to search for articles based on their title or the geographic location on a map. If you are online, even images are displayed.
Apart from the software you also need to download a specially prepared dump of the articles available here.

Dumps
Dumping Wikipedia is a very time-consuming task. Please be patient or help creating the dumps.
Available dumps:
- German Wikipedia, 2010-01-17 (2.2 GB) (should be complete, please test)
Dump Installation
Extract one (or more) of the .zip-Files to a directory on your device and select it from within evopedia. The dump that is used can be changed using the (second) link at the top-left of the search screen.
Creating a Wikipedia Dump
Creating a Wikipedia dump is unfortunately a rather lengthy process (some days). If you have any suggestions for speeding it up, please step forward. Concerning space, 20 GB should be enough for creating the dump.
1. install needed software (please add packages if I forgot some):
apt-get install php5-cli python mysql-server mysql-client wget zip tidy git
2. download evopedia source code
git clone git://github.com/crei/evopedia.git
3. adjust settings
set php's memory_limit to some higher value (128 MB) in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini (or similar)
create empty mysql database
edit paths and database settings in dumpscripts/createdump.sh
change the dump language (bottom of dumpscripts/createdump.sh)
4. start the dump process
call createdump.sh
