I am in talks with the Ministry of Education in
Zanzibar and they have shown some interest in the Zanzibari schools using the offline
Wikipedia. Most probably, they might want be to go and install the offline Wikipedia in
their schools in September. That being said, is it possible for you guys to release the
final version by then? BTW, since they are Swahili speakers, we'll also use the
Swahili version.
I understand that it may be difficult for you to push the release date forward, so if you
think that it's not possible to do so; it's fine with me :)
Difficult to give an answer. I know they are a few things I want
absolutely to be fixed and part of them are not so trivial. So I would
say: we do our best to release 0.9 final version ASAP.
I think, for you, as the end user, the most important is that it does
what you want, and I think Kiwix 0.9 branch still works pretty good.
For an official department I understand they need a little bit more
guaranty about the software. My answer would be :
(1) we are open to any structured project with concrete aims, timeline, ...
(2) if they want a professional support contract, this is also possible.
Abbas, hope to see you in Haifa. If you want, we could speak more in
details about your needs.
