Hi. I am currently preparing a simple manual for use of Kiwix and Wikipedia
for Schools. I would like to know if the teams have already packaged the
files to DVD copies that will be left for the schools. If yes, then I would
like to know the content folders of the DVDs and how they are arranged. If
not then I suggest that the DVDs have two folders and the Zim file on the
root system. The two folders should be named "User Guide" and "Kiwix",
alongside the zim file. In that case the DVDs have to wait till we finish
preparing this user manual so that we can package it as well. If the
packages are ready then it is ok, we can avail some of the files like the
user manual separately. Please let me know ASAP

Hi everybody, thanks for your patience as regards the manual. Find here
attached the PDF format of the my first draft of the user manual. As you can
see there are still some parts that are not complete, and some screen shots
are needed.
Specifically, I would appreciate help in finalizing in the following parts:
1. The title page (1st page which should have catchy graphics, our logo
or a caption of the project if possible)
2. A screenshot similar to the one in section 4(e) but showing the
Wikipedia for schools in the body, plus another one capturing the indexing
process
3. I need someone to prepare a manual on the use of Wikipedia for
Schools as in section *4(f) (i)* and *(ii),* capturing the necessary
screenshots if possible
4. Someone also to edit the *additional troubleshooting* section,
capturing topics e.g When and why could the software demand indexing again,
as well as other *FAQ*s
Please Note: I edited and did all the linking using MS Word 2010, that is
why I never shared the .docx file since I feared loss of formatting.
I would suggest that the various sections be edited separately by different
pple in docx, then attach a copy of the docs to my email so that I can
download them and incorporate them in the main manual to keep consistence in
formatting. If this happens soon I promise that the manual will be finalized
by the end of tomorrow (Thursday) and then I can convert to word after you
verify that everything is ok, so that it can be included in the packages.
However, it is up to you since there is another option: if you want I can
upload the word document or share it on docs and then you can edit and
finalize it there. However, I think this will prove tedious and some
formatting is bound to be lost.
Which option do you prefer guys. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks.
(Pardon my low quality screenshots)

Hey David,
With regards to Openzim and Kiwix, my take is that the Openzim project is mostly involved in the development of zim files while Kiwix is a reader of zim files.
Best of luck in the Mombasa pre-visit, do take a look (on wikimedia.or.ke) at Oscar's report on his visit to Kakamega as well as Egerton's on the school's they've visited so far for some pointers on yours.
Cheers,
Alex.
