I know kiwix but the webapp that I built uses these tecnologies:
- WebStorage
When the students are in the wifi area,they can consult all the
articles by the chrome browser (only Google chrome browser is
required).When the students after are in their home where there is
not wifi connection,they can consult all the article that they
consulted when they were in school by the webapp because the webapp
recorded all articles consulted.
With Kiwix they can download them locally; if you think it's important
to have many pages exportable at once, it shouldn't be too hard to add
such a feature I suppose.
- Real Time Communication
Students can tchat in article with other people in order to share
knowledge and idea inreal time when they are on the wifi area.The
chat seems like the facebook tchat.
- Webrtc
Users(educator,professor,students) can also communicate by
visioconference (only stable on Google chrome) in this webapp.They
can use this feature to call somebody in the area of the wifi and
have real time visioconference by their webcam.
I tell it because I know that kiwix is also a browser but I have a
full power of new feature when I use browsers like Chrome or Firefox
and that why visioconference is possible via Webrtc technology.The
webapp is responsive design,and compatible with all OS that can have
browser.
It's clear that Kiwix doesn't do this :) but you could just use Ekiga or
something with your local server. Just saying.
If I get small images of wikipedia (french and english) my final
problem will be resolved.I use the mediawiki API to serve the
webapp.The images that I ask will be put in mediawiki. I don't know
which solution you can give to me.If the zim format can be
undecompressed in order to extract images to use in mediawiki,
I don't know if it can. Should be possible, in principle. I don't know
if easier than just downloading the thumbs yourself.

I can
use this solution.What do you think and what do you propose for my
mediawiki.
Tank a lot (sorry for my English,I speak french)

I'm camerounian I built a webapp whose allows students to
consult
wikipedia articles
So you don't need the originals, only thumbs.
without internet connectivity,many school accepted
the application and the application is hosted on a server
and shared by
wifi on each school.
Nice! It seems you may want to use this existing software
solution:
http://kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-__serve
<http://kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve>
That way, you can use the available ZIM files with no need to
generate or download (and compress) the thumbnails yourself.
Example:
http://www.wikimedia.fr/__afripedia
<http://www.wikimedia.fr/afripedia>
Your help developing the software would be very useful and you
could avoid doing yourself what you don't have the resources
(bandwidth) to do.
I have all the other dumps of wikipedia articles in
french and english;but I don't have any image because they
are too heavy
for me to be downloaded to my side (3 TB) and I have a low
bandwidth (40
ko/s when it's fast).
The webapp works on a browser and i don't know if the zim
format can be
undecompressed to get small images (jpeg,png,svg...).
Kiwix is a browser, you can save anything you want AFAIK.
Nemo
This is the video demo (3min in french) of the webapp
:https://www.youtube.com/__watch?v=0f-HJhOw1-U

If I get small images in french and english to download to
the app,my
problem will revolved.
Tank a lot Federico

Please I want to get all images of wikipedia frensh
and English,
I much
did it cost to book it on hardisk? In can't
download it because
I don't
have enought bandwidth from my country.
What do you need them for?
Originals would be about 2+1 TB and anyone can download
and ship
them for you:

<http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/imagedumps/tarballs/fulls/20121201/>>
Otherwise there are the ZIM files with thumbnails
compressed,
fr.wiki is 14 GB but en.wiki is not available yet.
