The archive can be stored is any subdirectory of your SD-card (ex: /wikipedia_small_2010-08-14, or /evopedia/wikipedia_small_2010-08-14). If you have enough space, you can put several archives
<h4>Step 3 : enjoy wikipedia offline!</h4>
<h3>Privacy policy</h3>
This application works offline. There is no central server. We do not collect any of your personal data and don't even know what you are doing with this application.
<br />Anyway, if you think your Internet access can be watched and/or if you are paranoid, you should shut down your 3G and Wifi access before using the application. If not, the application will try to read the images of the articles on the wikipedia servers, which might indicate which articles you are reading.

Anyway, if you think your Internet access can be watched and/or if you are paranoid, you should shut down your 3G and Wifi access before using the application. If not, the application will try to read the images of the articles on the wikipedia servers, which might indicate which articles you are reading. Depending on your device, the "nearby articles" feature might also communicate with some Internet servers (usually Google) to geolocate your device (through your IP address and/or the Wifi networks detected around you)
<br />This application only reads the wikipedia archives of your SD-card : it does not read any other files.

<li>On desktops, it works but is less user friendly : you have to manually select the files of your archive, and it's not yet easily deployable as a "web application". I tested it on recent Firefox and Chromium, but it probably works on some other browsers (it even seems to work on IE10). You can test on <a href="http://mossroy.github.io/evopedia-html5/" target="_blank">this online page</a> or from a local copy of the <a href="https://github.com/mossroy/evopedia-html5" target="_blank">source code</a></li>
<li>On Android, it does not seem to work for now (tried with internal browser, Chrome and Firefox) because you can not select all the files of an archive</li>
<li>On Android and desktops, the DeviceStorage API (which is used to browse the SD-card for archives) should become available at some point (see <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=WebAPI" target="_blank"> https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=WebAPI</a>). As soon as it is, I will update the application to make it available on these platforms</li>
<li>An Apache Cordova port is on its way : it should make this HTML5/javascript version available on many mobile platforms</li>
