For the record, Wikibrowse *extends* Browse.  It starts up a local
webserver which serves pages from a compressed wikitext database, and
then instantiates a customized Browse activity.

I'm glad Chris jumped in and took credit for the /home/olpc thing, I
didn't think I had left it like that ;)  Also, it would be great if
the Browse source code were available to other activities without
hacks like this.  I look forward to Sugar Services providing this
functionality in a clean manner!

Best,
