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.
