I'm so glad that this is happening, and that news is out. Thanks to the Kiwix team for all of your work over the last decade. Really looking forward to seeing what comes next!

It took a decade to rebuild the WMF-Kiwix marriage (all marriages are tough work) and we Look Forward To Many Children :-)

Hi all,

A quick note to announce that Kiwix and the Wikimedia Foundation have decided to enter a more formal partnership to replace the limited, project-based approach we had until now. The official announcement is here:
The TL;DR of it is that we'll be able to continue to build on the massive improvements we made over the past 18 months. We have 3 million users, and there are 4 billion people without reliable access: there certainly is room for more growth.

This is a first, small step, but an important one : for this year we'll focus on improving user experience, and make it easier for people to access content offline (aka zim farm). If this works well, I'd like us to look into incremental updates as early as next year.

Thanks to everyone on this list that helped make it happen!

Emmanuel and Stephane
