Help request testing Dansk

Does anyone read Danish? We could use some help testing our latest keypad. Here are the files:

• base
• data

As with the other language packs, just extract and copy the entire dapedia folder into your SD card’s root directory. And copy all the base files into the SD card’s root directory as well.

Thanks in advance!

Project Gutenberg

A big thanks to the single-handed efforts of developer Tom Bachmann, we’re able to present early builds of the complete Project Gutenberg in English and German. Here are some screen shots:

To try, replace the contents of your SD card with the base image and the Gutenberg language you want:

• Base — direct: (All), torrent: (All)
• Deutsch– direct: (All), torrent: (All)
• English– direct: (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4), torrent: (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4)

Let us know what you think!

WikiReader SDK

Michael Hope, an open source developer, created a simple SDK for WikiReader development called “wrdk“. Here’s a game he made in a few hours:

Technically, wrdk it’s a toolchain, set of examples, and simple serial loader that makes developing applications for WikiReader a little bit easier. We’re extremely excited about his work and encourage you all to give it a try!

Help Translating

We’d love to have your help translating WikiReader’s interface. Provided you’re willing, please visit our project at translatewiki.net. They have a great system for translating wikis.

Beta Language Packs have moved

To keep things more perminant, and easier to update, we’ve transformed the “beta language packs” post into a page. The permanant link is here:
