Hello Offline fans,
In 2021, I plan to get a Spanish version of WikiFundi created with
the help of Antonio (u:Tonygarfume) and Kiwix.
Reminder : WikiFundi (1) is
a software that provides off-line editing environment that
mimics the Wikipedia environment. WikiFundi allows for training and contribution when
technology, access and electricity outages fail or are not
available at all. It enables individuals, groups and communities
to learn how to edit Wikipedia, and to work on articles
collaboratively. It requires a local server (such as a raspberry
PI) which will provide a local wifi network to which editors
may contact. Once completed and connected to the internet, the
articles produced can be uploaded to Wikipedia.
WikiFundi is primarily disseminated at the moment through the
Kiwix environnement. It is for example used during the
WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique, a writing contest that run in
(mostly rural) schools of 8 francophone countries (2)
I am currently looking for interested people to provide any help they think relevant, with the amount of time and energy they can afford. Any little help welcome.
If you are interested, please answer me, publicly or
privately, and drop your username signature on the project page
(3) so that I can contact you.
Help could be
a) help to develop the content pages of WikiFundi (I am
in particular looking for people super knowledgeable with the
our pillars, NPOV and such, to list and summarize those pages)
b) provide additional educational resources to be put on
WikiFundi. Currently all the resources are either in English or
French. Looking for fresh relevant resources in Spanish to be
added
c) beta testing, fixing links, language, typoes, page review
with good eyes
d) translate the userguide in Spanish !
e) when the software is ready, helping to relay the info, to
communicate about it (such as writing a blogpost in Spanish
about it, or hosting a post, or hosting a webinar to talk about
the software etc.)
f) and using the software in disconnected areas, providing
feedback and telling the story
g) more ?
Please no one be shy.
Florence
