Thanks for your support, that means a lot.
Regarding the project, the work is about to start.
We need to finalize a format for the zimdiff file(The file used to
update the zim files).
I have posted the details on the bugzilla page, and it would be great
if you could take a look.

This project should really help people to keep their offline version of
Wikipedia up-to-date without having to re-download everything each time.
The student and the two mentors are really happy about this decision of
Google and Wikimedia. We take it as a big opportunity and will do our
best to succeed.
Kind regards
Emmanuel
