Hello!<br>
<br>
I just wanted to direct your attention to the new offline portal on
the meta-wiki that is to be used to track all offline projects! It
can be found here: <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects" target="_blank">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects</a>.
The goal is that this is the place where all the offline materials
and lessons learned will be codified and able to access. So, for
example, it would be great to include the copy of your WfS User
Manuel. <br>
<br>
In particular, I was hoping you could help with populating a map
designed to capture where all the offline distributions have taken
place. See this <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=200444821566545185767.00049e894f5c32ec25b23&ll=36.315125,0.351563&spn=117.045492,346.289063&z=2" target="_blank">Google
Map</a>. There are a few examples already installed, but for each
location we would basically want to include:<br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight:bold">Number of offline
distributions: (i.e., #computers)<br>
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:bold">Number impacted: (e.g., # of
students + teachers)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:bold">Content: (e.g., "Wikipedia
for Schools")<br>
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:bold">Language: (e.g., "English")<br>
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:bold">Contact: (e.g., "Samson Maosa
& Isaac Kosgei" (or usernames)</span><span style="font-weight:bold">)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:bold">Other/Notes: (if applicable)<br>
</span></li>
</ul>
It would be great if we could have flags for each school the offline
project has been uploaded. If you need help populating the map,
please let me know, and I am happy to send instructions on how to do
so.<br>
<br>
Let me know what questions you have! And please feel free to
contribute to the wiki in whatever way you think is most valuable:
reorganizing, uploading content, data, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help! Hope you think this is valuable: I think it
will be a great way to organize volunteers, but also a great place
to direct partners to who are interested in learning more
information about the purpose of the project (e.g., Ministry of
Education).<br>
