WPAR has a permanent "intelligent"
notice using a gadget called
AdvancedSiteNotice (IMO the best approach).
Thanks. As ar as I can see it's a JS they use to alternate five
different messages some of which can be shown only to logged in users,
sysop etc., but the one on Kiwix is shown to everyone. Correct?
I don't know exactly how it's configured on WPAR, but I think this is
only displayed to anonymous (not logged) users. This is certainly a good
approach to not bother logged users who are mostly pretty good informed
about such topics. What I find interesting with this notice system is
that this is really not intrusive (only a line), each user can remove a
message easily, you can specify your audience and vary your messages.
I see since early November they have about 3 thousands
visit per day to
their project page on Kiwix.

Yes and I get ~500 visitors per day from WPAR... but IMO the WPAR
"landing page" could be improved to be more convincing (that's only my
opinion).
I now see there's also a page about it:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Case_Studies/2012_ARWP_Site_Notice>
Yes, IMO this is important on WPAR.
WPFA and WPES
(still running) have had both setup a central notice
during two weeks.
I have heard nothing about WPIT.
Ok. On it.wiki we have a rather thin section on Kiwix,
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiuto:Download_di_Wikipedia#Kiwix> (it
links a video, can you upload it to Commons so that it can be embedded?).
Should I? Is that good enough? The video is now two years old? Someone
motivated to make a new screencast? This would be really great...
especially with the new kiwix server feature in the 0.9rc2.
Where should I prepare a page to point Italian users
to? Ideally it
would be your main page made translatable with the Translate extension
(if you install it, I can do the manual work). Otherwise we can fallback
to a Meta translatable page, to a "manual" translation or to that local
page.
Great, what I propose is:
* A landing page on WPIT, like on WPAR where users are redirected. On
this page you can explain with a Wikipedia focus what it is, etc... You
may also provide directly a link to download Kiwix or Kiwix with Wikipedia.
* Would be great to propose on
www.kiwix.org a welcome page in Italian
(like we have in Farsi, German, French, Spanish...) at
http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page/it
I'll then propose a sitenotice on it.wiki; if we
had a translatable page
we could also propose a centralnotice.
Would be awesome.
Let us know about your progresses
