Description

Have you looked into getting the images from articles as well? From what I understand Kiwix has distributions where they bundle images in (for example wikipedia_en_all_2016-12.zim is 62GB)... I actually wrote a parser for their format recently https://www.npmjs.com/package/zimmer but havent finished doing the actual import-to-dat part :P

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the zimmer npm package to parse ZIM files and extract images, then integrate it into the build wikipedia feed pipeline to include inline article media.
