If you have a hard copy of the syllabus, we can use OCR software to convert it to digital copies. There is a million of those and they are quite accurate.

Hello Nice People,
We were adding article links that are covered in the Kenyan school syllabus that were non existent on the SOS version and we had none proposed for removal from the SOS version like the Indian folks are doing. [1]
I have added a new column [2] that has the subject/category under which the various topics fall to keep things a little bit organized and sortable.
The syllabus that I gave Dennis is a hard copy of around 300 pages-A4 size and having it on-line would be somehow tedious since it will take quite some time to scan it and again it is not such a clear copy since it is also a photocopy of the original and might end up illegible.
Anyone who would like to contribute to the off-line compilation of topics can liaise with Dennis to get some pages of the document to work on though I understand he is almost done;)
Regards, Stephen

So glad this is in the pipeline! We actually just got an email from Camara (the computer distributor) informing us of updates they have in their Ubuntu software, and their desire to include a Kenya-specific offline edition. So - that's a challenge! The question is - when can we get it done?
I just posted on the talk page[1] referencing the way the India project is organizing their offline effort. It might be a bit too elaborate for the Kenya version (Requires the creation of a LOT of additional pages), but the two pieces of it that I think are incredibly valuable: # the separation by category in the list of articles they are proposing to add, and # the ability for everyone to contribute rather than just one person.
I am wondering - is there a way to get the syllabus online so that way Dennis doesn't have to do it all himself? If not, Dennis - is there a way we can support your efforts?
Thanks!! Jessie

Hello,
Karibu Abbas.
The last time I checked Dennis was still working on these topics. I gave him a copy of the New Kenyan syllabus which had Maths, Chemistry, Physics,Biology and Agriculture - that was December last year.
So that implies that we do not have the syllabus for Geography, Business Studies and CRE.

Hi all,
We were developing the content curriculum for the Kenyan curriculum so that we could have a custom-made offline Wikipedia version for us here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Content_Development/Schools/.... Is there anyone who is still working on this? As of now we have articles on Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, IRE, Agriculture, History & Geography. We don't have articles on Business Studies & CRE. Articles re Physics, Math, and Geography are too few and still need to be increased. Is there anyone here who has access to the Kenyan curriculum willing to fill in the blanks?
Thanks to Steve & Dennis on adding some articles.
