How much disk space do they have? It shouldn't be too difficult to add a Kiwix

Assam has traditionally had a problem with
infrastructure and Internet
access is a problem. Someone who is supporting Amtron has asked the

does need to be of appropriate content.
Uh? What sort of Wikipedia content could ever be unappropriate for 15-16 years old boys
and girl? I can't imagine any. :-/
:-) Would suggest we err on the side of
caution. majorly on the side of caution.
