@mckinley This looks pretty awesome! But it's only a frontend/proxy right?
What I've always wanted to do for years now is self-hosted my own "copy" of Wikipedia (at least in English) in its entirety. And occasionally sync changes upstream back down. I've looked at a few solutions, but I've never found anything I really like.

@prologic Yes, it's just a proxy. There are a few projects that do something similar to what you're talking about, but nothing I know of is actually designed to "self-host Wikipedia" from a downloaded database dump.
