Extension:Luciwik

Luciwik is a system consisting of two extensions for MediaWiki that provides an OPDS catalog containing entries for automatically generated EPUB versions of the wiki pages. Single article to book or a set of articles to book is also possible. Discussion page as final chapter if wanted. Possible to include book description and structured metadata, like author etc.

Example 1: Add article to wanted book catalogue categories, and add meta-data to be included in the book catalogue and ebook.

By adding the above to a wiki article containing the text of the classic Norwegian short-story Karen by Alexander Kielland, the article will be added to the wiki categories Free Norwegian classics, 19th Century literature and Short-story, but the meta-data will not be visible on the web page itself. The article will also appear as a book in the book catalogue in these categories too, with some of the meta-data visible in the book catalogue. By adding the address of the book catalogue to ebook readers like Lucifox or FBReader, users can search for titles or meta-data. When the user decides to download a book title, the meta-data will be included in the EPUB 3 ebook file and the ebook reader can display to the reader, which can later be used to sort or find locally stored books.
