I was thinking of xml where we (together with the wikipedia-folks) define 
everything. Before implementing anything we even need to decide if the 
conversion from wikitext (all Wikipedia-contents are stored in that format) 
to the other formats will be done serverside or clientside (inside kdelibs, I 
guess).

No, I think it is best if it only includes the content, the information in 
which other languages the article is also available and so on but no 
wikipedia-specific markup/webpage-items.

All that needs to be discussed, I guess... I think it would be nice for 
applications if the text be be displayed without links. Furthermore it would 
be good if the applications could link to both online wikipedia-pages and 
offline content as well.
In Kalzium I will have a proofread offline-version of the articles I need from 
the Wikipedia. So I will need a setting what a link is doing: Jump to a 
offline or online-page.
