Hey Jessie,
Thanks for the link. Though it had a dot at the end hence linking to the wrong page. I think this should be Ok: meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects
I believe we can provide most of the info required on the map considering we kept records of the number of computers in which we installed Kiwix as well as other details.
Hope to have the data up soon.
cheers, Alex.

Hello!
I just wanted to direct your attention to the new offline portal on the meta-wiki that is to be used to track all offline projects! It can be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects. The goal is that this is the place where all the offline materials and lessons learned will be codified and able to access. So, for example, it would be great to include the copy of your WfS User Manuel.
In particular, I was hoping you could help with populating a map designed to capture where all the offline distributions have taken place. See this Google Map http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=200444821566545185767.00049e894f5c32ec25b23&ll=36.315125,0.351563&spn=117.045492,346.289063&z=2. There are a few examples already installed, but for each location we would basically want to include:
- Number of offline distributions: (i.e., #computers)
- Number impacted: (e.g., # of students + teachers)
- Content: (e.g., "Wikipedia for Schools")
- Language: (e.g., "English")
- Contact: (e.g., "Samson Maosa & Isaac Kosgei" (or usernames))
- Other/Notes: (if applicable)
It would be great if we could have flags for each school the offline project has been uploaded. If you need help populating the map, please let me know, and I am happy to send instructions on how to do so.
Let me know what questions you have! And please feel free to contribute to the wiki in whatever way you think is most valuable: reorganizing, uploading content, data, etc.
Thanks for your help! Hope you think this is valuable: I think it will be a great way to organize volunteers, but also a great place to direct partners to who are interested in learning more information about the purpose of the project (e.g., Ministry of Education).
