Hi guys-<div><br></div><div>David - this is AWESOME: i&#39;m so glad you are thinking about helping with this! This is the same idea WMF have, but unfortunately we do not have a lot of resources available on the engineering side to make this happen.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Emmanuel is the lead developer for Kiwix - a ZIM file reader which you have probably been using to read your Offline Wikipedia. He is actually working on an Android version of the Kiwix reader right now! <a href="http://kiwix.org/index.php/Android">http://kiwix.org/index.php/Android</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are interested in helping with this project (and I really hope you are!), I would recommend getting in touch with him directly (CC&#39;d here), and joining the Kiwix developer mailing list (CC&#39;d). </div>
<div><br></div><div>So excited for the potential here!</div><div>Jessie</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 10:58 PM, Abbas Mahmood <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:abbasjnr@hotmail.com">abbasjnr@hotmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<div>David,</div><div><br></div>I&#39;m not a techie, so I can&#39;t really comment on any of this. But I do know some MediaWiki folks as well as some people on WMF&#39;s tech/mobile department. So if you need their help/support, I&#39;d be happy to connect you to them :-)<div>

Subject: [Wikimedia Kenya] Idea - Schools project upper phase<div><div><br><br>Guys,<br><br>Think of this... You have $100 to spend on a learning device. A computer maybe. Or maybe even an Android Tab. Think of the two. A $100 computer is slow and lazy and probably wont run anything beyond windows xp. An Android device on the other hand, will run ICS (Android 4) and probably offer great speeds. Now, we need Android offline readers. I am a Java developer, I need hands to work with, who wants in on an Android reader? It will be much more cooler to use touch screen devices for learning plus they are really modern... give it a though, I think I want to start an open source project on this...<br clear="all">
