It’s now possible for Linux users to mount Wikipedia as a Virtual Filesystem in their computers, thanks to a project called WikipediaFS.

Wikipedia editors can now create and edit any Wikipedia page in their text editor or word processor, without any hassles. This translates lesser reloads in browsers.

Cool, isn’t it? But there’s no idea how this is gonna help newbies.

This entire project is based on Filesystem in Userspace or FUSE and this even gets more interesting. A variety of FUSE-based tasks can be found in this page.
