Emmanuel,

Thank you for coming in.

*I would suggest that you highlight on the general steps/process involved in creation of a ZIM file. (For very detailed topics I propose we give links on the slides for those who would like to know more) 
e.g. For the one we are about to compile for the Kenyan curricula,we were requested to create a list on a meta page of the missing topics with the corresponding link to an existing article on Wikipedia,then from there I think you guys at the openzim project shall compile that then have the downloadable copy availed.

* Could you shade more light on what goes on in between having the topics from us and having the downloadable version online?

*Also,Kindly avail some information regarding the origin of the openzim project,objectives,some merits and future prospects.

*I think six slides for the openZim project shall do us good.(any other suggestions are also welcome)

And keep up the good work.

Truly, 
Steve
