- Abstract :
The Raspberry Pi 3 is a fast and popular 64-bit ARM-play card sized single-board computer that usually runs on Raspbian. The Raspberry Pi was first released in 2012 for educational purposes. But the system is so convenient, powerful and practical that more and more hobbyists and professionals use it for various purposes. The latest version even has a built-in Wi-Fi module.
A MediaWiki server can easily be installed for demonstration, development, training, test or experimental purposes.
It is very flexible and can be configured by anyone with (advanced) Linux experience.
The device is fully mobile and can be used conveniently to organize a Wikipedia course where participants practice on a local server, without polluting the online encyclopedia. Participants can connect to a local built-in Wi-Fi access point.
