If you have ideas to help us spreading Wikipedia offline, feel free to implement them. Your help is really welcome.
fwiw I just claimed https://www.ohloh.net/p/Kiwix under the Wikimedia org umbrella: https://www.ohloh.net/orgs/wikimedia
Thank you Quim.
A mention of Kiwix at mediawiki.org would help as well. For instance, someone looking for "offline" would not find anything at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Offline
Even looking specifically for "Kiwix" returns only one meaningful result, which is an empty shell without any link to your site: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Kiwix_UX_study
Yes, this is bad. Federico created an entry here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Kiwix. Jessie also started last year the creation of an ecosystem of pages on Meta to organise the offline related work, but this is now "abandoned".
The Kiwix Web site itself is also not good enough. This is my primary focus (in communication) to improve it.
We have newly a volunteer on Kiwix advertisement and he already has achieved a few things, I hope he will continue on this way and help us to better communicate.
PS: just curious, have you considered moving your repository to the Wikimedia infrastructure?
The WMF is already an essential part of our infrastructure and hosts the main mirror of the ZIM files http://dataset2.wikimedia.org/kiwix/zim/0.9/. This works perfectly.
With the audience of the last weeks we face another issue, a lot of people do not download the ZIM files but the bundles (Kiwix+Wikipedia) which are not mirrored at the WMF. I plan to ask the WMF to mirror also these files in a near future.
Kind regards Emmanuel
