Building a (fast) Wikipedia offline reader

Wikipedia needs no introductions: it is one of the best - if not the best - encyclopedias, and it's freely available for everyone.

Everyone can be a relative term, however... It implies availability of an Internet connection. This is not always the case; for one, many people would love to have Wikipedia on their laptop, since this would allow them to instantly check for things they want regardless of their location (business trips, hotels, etc). Others simply don't have an Internet connection - or they don't want to dial up one every time they need to check something.
