Looks like a great tool, but...
editIt's certainly not notable enough for inclusion in the mainspace. Please, someone userfy or projectify this--if no one contests this proposal in a few days, I'll move it to projectspace. AmiDaniel (talk) 10:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Strong oppose : This is a very useful and notable tool, please stop the deletion process. !--Khalid hassani 12:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I tend to agree with AmiDaniel, while it is a useful tool of interest to editors of wikipedia, it makes no claim to its notability, so fails WP:SOFTWARE. Most of the tools for accessing wikipedia tend to exist in the Wikipedia: and User: name spaces, which seems a reasonable solution. --Salix alba (talk) 13:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Looks familiar
editIt look strangely familiar to a version of an encyclopedia from Microsoft that I've used before. Here are some comment on the program as of 24 February 2008
- Interface
- Lack of accessibility (lack of a text copying functions in some areas)
- Some icons are hidden while maximized in a 800x600 screen
- Would like a dark color scheme
- Missing a history list
- Extra mouse button and rocker gesture support
- Scrolling shouldn't change the current search results since the focus stays in the Find box
- Search
- The WikiMedia search isn't very good
- Maybe use using Google? It at least has spell checker.
- Kinda miss the the side search pannel
- Would be nice if the search & highlight was integrated in the search
- Other
- Would be nice to have a category explorer where I could transverse down the classical category system
- Maybe include the Gutenberg Encyclopedia somehow
- Doesn't include WP:WikiMiniAtlas (Although looking at it, its still quite a bit ways off from Encarta's atlas)
The software however doesn't seem to get updated much as the version currently available on their website dates back more than 5 month. — Dispenser 05:22, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
