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.

Guys,
I need to get my info right, which exact days are we looking at for the Mombasa pilot?
Anyone else things we need to collect more info other than what is
contained
in the attached document?
Am going to convert the document into a spreadsheet that we can share on Google Docs.
Also, I was looking at OpenZIM and to me, it looks more flexible and I
would
like your comparison views with KIWIX.
I plan on starting visits today and finish by Friday. I will have my iPad with me so all visit outcome will be updated on the Google Spreadsheet in real time.
David.

Hey everyone!
I know I haven't been weighing in often, but I have been tracking your progress and couldn't be more thrilled about all that is happening.

*Attention Abbas , i made some observation it looks like in a good
number
of schools ,computer for schools program has contributed the computers
for
their labs , and are in touch either with their lab tech or anybody in charge maybe if only we can get in touch with the computer for schools office at mombasa rd it can reduce some expenses associated with pre
-visits
,just thinking ,
See you guys .*
This is a good idea. Might be worth talking to Computer for Schools
program
and seeing if it is possible to do a mass installation of Kiwix onto the computers prior to distribution. Then any visitations you are able to
do
could be to help train, answer questions, etc.
I am not familiar with Computer for Schools, so I am not sure if that is possible or not, but certainly worth discussing.
Best, Jessie
