Today, we are really proud to see that we have achieved to do that, and even more. All of this would not have been made possible without a committed team of volunteers and the strong support of Wikimedia Switzerland. Thanks to them (and a few other ones) we have achieved to: * Make Wikipedia readable offline on (almost) all kind of devices * Provide monthly updates of all Wikimedia projects * Provide an open-source/standardised offline technology re-usable for any kind of web content with openZIM * Build offline versions of various projects like Gutenberg, TEDs, Vikidia, Youtube, ... With the additional help of dozens of partners, which spread content and technology in the field, we can track around 1M of users a year... and strongly believe this is the "tip of the iceberg". Luckily, in the last 10 years, we have done a lot of progresses in the Internet access. That said, around half of the world population still does not have an access to Internet and censorship is a raising and already extremely serious problem. As a consequence, we will be pretty busy in the next decade and will continue to improve our technology and offer always better solutions to read and spread free knowledge - offline. We have made a blog post about our anniversary on Wikimedia blog, please share it on the social networks: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/10/11/kiwix-ten-years/ Regards Emmanuel Engelhart -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication _______________________________________________ Offline-l mailing list Offline-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/offline-l
