Hello all.

Firstly thanks for your hard work with moulin. I tried Arabic version
of moulin. It was really great, we need these ideas in Arabic world
(Which is all in the third world).

Images didn't include with any version of moulin ,but there is its
name. My chose about that is removing images *and* its name, article
then will be better, more clear and better when print. Removing it is
easy using some regex.

If include images is possable, I really agree with ideas for includs
images in moulin, we can make two versions: a special version with DVD
(CD will be too small) for people who want all [free]? images. and a
text based version for CDs.

Yes, I hesitated at that time: is the image name relevant or even
useful ? I choosed to let them but maybe we can supress them in the
next release. I'll add it to this thread:

The problem is : there is no _download all images from WP_. It means
we would have to query the online WP for _every single image_ which
would take loads of time (and resources).

I see. I think any professional programmer can make a script that
download all images from a wiki. You can ask MediaWiki developers for
helping, they're helpful :)

It's bot age.

Hi Osama,
yes there is script do that, but we have two problems.
* we can use only the images from commons, because of copyright issue.
* the scripts download the images in the real size, which is HUGE. we
need script to download it as it appears in the articles, max 800px
wide.
