Hello nice people!
The Geography, History and CRE addition of non existent topics to the
current SOS version of off-line Wikipedia is done! As at [1] below.
Dennis is still working on the business studies syllabus and as he promised
he will be done by the end of this Month. I would suggest we use the talk
page [2] for further communications with regards to the off-line project.
Thank you everyone who has been working on this!
//Stephen

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Offline Wikipedia: Kenyan Curriculum
Thanks for this update, Stephen.
I'd like to encourage you guys to make progress on this work, so we can
finally prepare a new ZIM file (we'll figure out the size problem if we
have too. Probably by removing a few pictures.) and start working on
distribution.
Are you and Deonte the only ones working on this right now?
Cheers,
Asaf

Hello,
From my mathematical point of view, I believe that this new set will
definitely generate more other articles into our new custom package. My
argument being, every new article we request to be added will come with its
new blue links which means more articles than what we already have in our
not yet completed compilation of topics. This blue links mean more articles!
As of now there are 500+ requested additions on [1] and if I do some maths
by assuming that each new requested article has a minimum of 10 blue links
then we are talking about 5000+ articles being added onto the SOS version
of off-line WIkipedia. *Note* that the list is still a Work-In-Progress
with more subjects to be added!
The SOS version of the offline Wikipedia is 5500 articles which means that
our new additions would not fit as an addition to the SOS version and still
be <4gb. I met Deonte today and he requested for some pages of the
Agriculture syllabus which he is working on right now. I still have the
Business Education syllabus and the C.R.E. syllabus which I secured last
week.
