fwiw I just claimed

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
