Gollum and Other Wikipedia Search Tools
News.com reports about a new “Wikipedia Browser” named Gollum that comes from German web developer, Harald Hanek.
In my opinion the interface of Wikipedia is too overloaded and confusing,” Hanek says on the Gollum site. “So let’s get an easy to use interface.”
A dowloadable beta is coming soon according to the web site but at the moment the web interface appears very easy to use. Simply select a language for the pull-down menu (19 languages are listed) and the select which version of Wikipedia you want to use (English, French, German, etc.). Next, click the Gollum interface and a “browser” window opens. Unfortunately, when I tested Gollum a few minutes ago, I kept running into an error messages. I’ll have to try later.
The article goes on to mention that the Wikipedia Foundation is not involved in any way with Gollum’s development.
