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.
