I know kiwix but the webapp that I built uses these tecnologies: - WebStorage When the students are in the wifi area,they can consult all the articles by the chrome browser (only Google chrome browser is required).When the students after are in their home where there is not wifi connection,they can consult all the article that they consulted when they were in school by the webapp because the webapp recorded all articles consulted.
With Kiwix they can download them locally; if you think it's important to have many pages exportable at once, it shouldn't be too hard to add such a feature I suppose.
- Real Time Communication Students can tchat in article with other people in order to share knowledge and idea inreal time when they are on the wifi area.The chat seems like the facebook tchat. - Webrtc Users(educator,professor,students) can also communicate by visioconference (only stable on Google chrome) in this webapp.They can use this feature to call somebody in the area of the wifi and have real time visioconference by their webcam. I tell it because I know that kiwix is also a browser but I have a full power of new feature when I use browsers like Chrome or Firefox and that why visioconference is possible via Webrtc technology.The webapp is responsive design,and compatible with all OS that can have browser.
It's clear that Kiwix doesn't do this :) but you could just use Ekiga or something with your local server. Just saying.
If I get small images of wikipedia (french and english) my final problem will be resolved.I use the mediawiki API to serve the webapp.The images that I ask will be put in mediawiki. I don't know which solution you can give to me.If the zim format can be undecompressed in order to extract images to use in mediawiki,
I don't know if it can. Should be possible, in principle. I don't know if easier than just downloading the thumbs yourself.

I can use this solution.What do you think and what do you propose for my mediawiki.

Nice! It seems you may want to use this existing software solution: http://kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-__serve <http://kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve> That way, you can use the available ZIM files with no need to generate or download (and compress) the thumbnails yourself. Example: http://www.wikimedia.fr/__afripedia <http://www.wikimedia.fr/afripedia> Your help developing the software would be very useful and you could avoid doing yourself what you don't have the resources (bandwidth) to do. I have all the other dumps of wikipedia articles in french and english;but I don't have any image because they are too heavy for me to be downloaded to my side (3 TB) and I have a low bandwidth (40 ko/s when it's fast). The webapp works on a browser and i don't know if the zim format can be undecompressed to get small images (jpeg,png,svg...). Kiwix is a browser, you can save anything you want AFAIK.
