This has been made possible with the support of: * Fondation Orange * Wikimedia CH * Wikimedia Foundation * Bibliothèque sans frontière More information about the project openZIM and the ZIM format at: http://www.openzim.org/ Regards Emmanuel Engelhart -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication _______________________________________________ Offline-l mailing list Offline-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/offline-l
