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. --Abbas.
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.

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 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

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 Folks,
I have finally secured a copy of the Geography Syllabus that was still lacking.
It is a 130 page document and I will talk to the owner to allow me have it until next week hoping that you will find time to work on it on 31st after the board elections. It is so detailed and that's why it is at 130 pages otherwise it should take around 2hours to have the list on meta once apportioned among the attendees.

Hello Folks,
I have finally secured a copy of the Geography Syllabus that was still lacking.
It is a 130 page document and I will talk to the owner to allow me have it until next week hoping that you will find time to work on it on 31st after the board elections. It is so detailed and that's why it is at 130 pages otherwise it should take around 2hours to have the list on meta once apportioned among the attendees.
Excellent! If need be, you might perhaps spend some chapter money on photocopying the whole thing.
Would this conclude the preparation of the Kenyan Curriculum topic list, allowing to move forward with preparing a new ZIM file?
Thanks for pursuing this!
Cheers,

Hi Folks,
I understand that the syllabus compilation was procrastinated to 21st of March 2012 for reasons I don't know.
However, I have a concern about this. The 'how-to' of this process is such a cinch and having a separate meeting to learn how to compile it on Meta sounds ridiculous.
I remember it took me 10minutes to give a demo to Dennis on how to do this. (Dennis correct me if wrong). Folks it is wise to maximise on the time that we usually meet in covering/discussing all of our projects since we do not have F2F meetups that often and they are expensive in terms of resources that volunteers put into attending these meetings. (sad truth!)
Without much ado, I would like to get my hands on the syllabus. The last time I checked, Chris had the copy.
Is he the one who still has it?

Hello Folks,
Hope you are doing great and bracing yourselves for this Saturday's edittathon that shall evolve around but not limited to the subject of this Email.
We shall cover the remaining bit of the Kenyan syllabus as a basic intro to Wiki and later on do more editing on Wikipedia.
My proposal is we could as well engage in the April Wikification Drive (see [1] below) but of course not limit ourselves to that as well.
The venue of the Meet up is at the environs of Upper-hill in Nairobi at Mugo's place which is near the public Service Club.
For those who do not know how to get there please contact me off-list for prior arrangements on how to get there.
The edittathon starts at 600PM local time and runs through the Night till Sunday Morning.
*What to Bring:* * * 1. Laptops plus the chargers of course;)
See you soon.
PS: There is an experienced Wikipedian who is in the country on a short private visit and he tells me that he would like to be part of this edittathon on 21st and to meet other awesome Wikipedians.
//Stephen

Hello,
From my mathematical point of view, I believe that this new set will
definitely generate more other articles into our new custom package. My argument being, every new article we request to be added will come with its new blue links which means more articles than what we already have in our not yet completed compilation of topics. This blue links mean more articles!
As of now there are 500+ requested additions on [1] and if I do some maths by assuming that each new requested article has a minimum of 10 blue links then we are talking about 5000+ articles being added onto the SOS version of off-line WIkipedia. *Note* that the list is still a Work-In-Progress with more subjects to be added!
The SOS version of the offline Wikipedia is 5500 articles which means that our new additions would not fit as an addition to the SOS version and still be <4gb. I met Deonte today and he requested for some pages of the Agriculture syllabus which he is working on right now. I still have the Business Education syllabus and the C.R.E. syllabus which I secured last week.

Thanks for this update, Stephen.
I'd like to encourage you guys to make progress on this work, so we can finally prepare a new ZIM file (we'll figure out the size problem if we have too. Probably by removing a few pictures.) and start working on distribution.
Are you and Deonte the only ones working on this right now?
Cheers,
Asaf

Hello Folks,
Hope you are doing great and bracing yourselves for this Saturday's
edittathon that shall evolve around but not limited to the subject of
this Email.
We shall cover the remaining bit of the Kenyan syllabus as a basic intro
to Wiki and later on do more editing on Wikipedia.
My proposal is we could as well engage in the April Wikification Drive
(see [1] below) but of course not limit ourselves to that as well.
The venue of the Meet up is at the environs of Upper-hill in Nairobi at
Mugo's place which is near the public Service Club.
For those who do not know how to get there please contact me off-list
for prior arrangements on how to get there.
The edittathon starts at 600PM local time and runs through the Night
till Sunday Morning.
What to Bring:
- Laptops plus the chargers of course;)
See you soon.
PS: There is an experienced Wikipedian who is in the country on a short
private visit and he tells me that he would like to be part of this
edittathon on 21st and to meet other awesome Wikipedians.

Hello nice people!
The Geography, History and CRE addition of non existent topics to the current SOS version of off-line Wikipedia is done! As at [1] below.
Dennis is still working on the business studies syllabus and as he promised he will be done by the end of this Month. I would suggest we use the talk page [2] for further communications with regards to the off-line project.
Thank you everyone who has been working on this!

Thanks for this update, Stephen.
I'd like to encourage you guys to make progress on this work, so we can finally prepare a new ZIM file (we'll figure out the size problem if we have too. Probably by removing a few pictures.) and start working on distribution.
Are you and Deonte the only ones working on this right now?

Hello,
From my mathematical point of view, I believe that this new set will definitely generate more other articles into our new custom package. My argument being, every new article we request to be added will come with its new blue links which means more articles than what we already have in our not yet completed compilation of topics. This blue links mean more articles!
As of now there are 500+ requested additions on [1] and if I do some maths by assuming that each new requested article has a minimum of 10 blue links then we are talking about 5000+ articles being added onto the SOS version of off-line WIkipedia. *Note* that the list is still a Work-In-Progress with more subjects to be added!
The SOS version of the offline Wikipedia is 5500 articles which means that our new additions would not fit as an addition to the SOS version and still be <4gb. I met Deonte today and he requested for some pages of the Agriculture syllabus which he is working on right now. I still have the Business Education syllabus and the C.R.E. syllabus which I secured last week.

Hello Folks,
Hope you are doing great and bracing yourselves for this Saturday's edittathon that shall evolve around but not limited to the subject of this Email.
We shall cover the remaining bit of the Kenyan syllabus as a basic
intro
to Wiki and later on do more editing on Wikipedia.
My proposal is we could as well engage in the April Wikification Drive (see [1] below) but of course not limit ourselves to that as well.
The venue of the Meet up is at the environs of Upper-hill in Nairobi
at
Mugo's place which is near the public Service Club.
For those who do not know how to get there please contact me off-list for prior arrangements on how to get there.
The edittathon starts at 600PM local time and runs through the Night till Sunday Morning.
What to Bring:
- Laptops plus the chargers of course;)
See you soon.
PS: There is an experienced Wikipedian who is in the country on a
short
private visit and he tells me that he would like to be part of this edittathon on 21st and to meet other awesome Wikipedians.

Hello Nice people,
It is really reassuring when you receive that phone call from someone with thirst for free knowledge which is the main mission of Wikimedia.
One teacher from a school that benefited from the Wikipedia for Schools pilot that was accomplished in Mombasa, Kenya, gave a call to Bruce (Member of WMKE) and she requested for a copy of the DVD plus the manual of how to make the offline package functional. She had misplaced the copy we left after the pilot and she would like a new copy to install in new computers that the school acquired recently.
It is very satisfying to learn that someone found the package useful. I will be sending her a copy during the week plus a manual via a courier service since she availed the school’s mailing address.
At this point, I think it is wise for her school to partake in the story telling tour that will be executed by Victor Grigas who will be visiting Kenya after Wikimania.
Regards,
Stephen.
PS: Dennis, How far have you reached with the Syllabus you were working on?

indeed its encouraging to note that we having positive feedback from the WFS ,now i have encountered three cases in Western emanating from Kakamega pilot ,managed to reinstall the same having formatted their PCs , For the Mombasa one because of the logistical matrix involved i explored possibility of sending the DVD via dropbox n other large file sending methods but she could not understand how to go about that . My Question: Now that we are in the process of updating our Kiwix is it still prudent to continue re installing that one ?

Hello!
I will send the school the latest release of Kiwix (which is version 0.9 RC1). BTW,am informed that it will be released today. It has some new nice feats that I bet they will find useful some plus bug fixes.
To mention just but a few;
- Has a new theme that a user can switch to called ''Evolution'' - Html5 Video support - Indexing improvement......so much more
To view the change log go to [1] and you are also welcome to test the new version that can be downloaded here [2]
Cheers, //Stephen

Hello Nice people,
It is really reassuring when you receive that phone call from someone with thirst for free knowledge which is the main mission of Wikimedia.
One teacher from a school that benefited from the Wikipedia for Schools pilot that was accomplished in Mombasa, Kenya, gave a call to Bruce (Member of WMKE) and she requested for a copy of the DVD plus the manual of how to make the offline package functional. She had misplaced the copy we left after the pilot and she would like a new copy to install in new computers that the school acquired recently.
It is very satisfying to learn that someone found the package useful. I will be sending her a copy during the week plus a manual via a courier service since she availed the school’s mailing address.
At this point, I think it is wise for her school to partake in the story telling tour that will be executed by Victor Grigas who will be visiting Kenya after Wikimania.
Regards,
Stephen.
PS: Dennis, How far have you reached with the Syllabus you were working on?

Hello nice people!
The Geography, History and CRE addition of non existent topics to the current SOS version of off-line Wikipedia is done! As at [1] below.
Dennis is still working on the business studies syllabus and as he promised he will be done by the end of this Month. I would suggest we use the talk page [2] for further communications with regards to the off-line project.
Thank you everyone who has been working on this!

Thanks for this update, Stephen.
I'd like to encourage you guys to make progress on this work, so we can finally prepare a new ZIM file (we'll figure out the size problem if we have too. Probably by removing a few pictures.) and start working on distribution.
Are you and Deonte the only ones working on this right now?

Hello,
From my mathematical point of view, I believe that this new set will definitely generate more other articles into our new custom package. My argument being, every new article we request to be added will come with its new blue links which means more articles than what we already have in our not yet completed compilation of topics. This blue links mean more articles!
As of now there are 500+ requested additions on [1] and if I do some maths by assuming that each new requested article has a minimum of 10 blue links then we are talking about 5000+ articles being added onto the SOS version of off-line WIkipedia. *Note* that the list is still a Work-In-Progress with more subjects to be added!
The SOS version of the offline Wikipedia is 5500 articles which means that our new additions would not fit as an addition to the SOS version and still be <4gb. I met Deonte today and he requested for some pages of the Agriculture syllabus which he is working on right now. I still have the Business Education syllabus and the C.R.E. syllabus which I secured last week.

Hello!
From my action points here [1] on our May meet-up regarding the compilation
of the Kenyan curriculum, I just finished working on the last subject which is Agriculture.
Approximately there are about 600 suggested additions of topics at [2].
Next steps?

Are we done? Are we waiting on additional topics (by Dennis?)?
If/when the list is completely done, we'll proceed with creating an updated ZIM file, and then we can think about ways to distribute the Kenyan Offline Wikipedia.

Hello Nice people,
It is really reassuring when you receive that phone call from someone with thirst for free knowledge which is the main mission of Wikimedia.
One teacher from a school that benefited from the Wikipedia for Schools pilot that was accomplished in Mombasa, Kenya, gave a call to Bruce (Member of WMKE) and she requested for a copy of the DVD plus the manual of how to make the offline package functional. She had misplaced the copy we left after the pilot and she would like a new copy to install in new computers that the school acquired recently.
It is very satisfying to learn that someone found the package useful. I will be sending her a copy during the week plus a manual via a courier service since she availed the school’s mailing address.
At this point, I think it is wise for her school to partake in the story telling tour that will be executed by Victor Grigas who will be visiting Kenya after Wikimania.
Regards,
Stephen.
PS: Dennis, How far have you reached with the Syllabus you were working on?

Hello nice people!
The Geography, History and CRE addition of non existent topics to the current SOS version of off-line Wikipedia is done! As at [1] below.
Dennis is still working on the business studies syllabus and as he promised he will be done by the end of this Month. I would suggest we use the talk page [2] for further communications with regards to the off-line project.
Thank you everyone who has been working on this!

Thanks for this update, Stephen.
I'd like to encourage you guys to make progress on this work, so we can finally prepare a new ZIM file (we'll figure out the size problem if we have too. Probably by removing a few pictures.) and start working on distribution.
Are you and Deonte the only ones working on this right now?

Hello,
From my mathematical point of view, I believe that this new set will definitely generate more other articles into our new custom package. My argument being, every new article we request to be added will come with its new blue links which means more articles than what we already have in our not yet completed compilation of topics. This blue links mean more articles!
As of now there are 500+ requested additions on [1] and if I do some maths by assuming that each new requested article has a minimum of 10 blue links then we are talking about 5000+ articles being added onto the SOS version of off-line WIkipedia. *Note* that the list is still a Work-In-Progress with more subjects to be added!
The SOS version of the offline Wikipedia is 5500 articles which means that our new additions would not fit as an addition to the SOS version and still be <4gb. I met Deonte today and he requested for some pages of the Agriculture syllabus which he is working on right now. I still have the Business Education syllabus and the C.R.E. syllabus which I secured last week.

Asaf,
We are just about done, hopefully by end if this week it is finalized. We have also started communication with the Kenya ICT board and other government bodies on distribution but we are still trying to create a workable roadmap on the same.

If/when the list is completely done, we'll proceed with creating an updated ZIM file, and then we can think about ways to distribute the Kenyan Offline Wikipedia.

Hello Nice people,
It is really reassuring when you receive that phone call from someone with thirst for free knowledge which is the main mission of Wikimedia.
One teacher from a school that benefited from the Wikipedia for Schools pilot that was accomplished in Mombasa, Kenya, gave a call to Bruce (Member of WMKE) and she requested for a copy of the DVD plus the manual of how to make the offline package functional. She had misplaced the copy we left after the pilot and she would like a new copy to install in new computers that the school acquired recently.
It is very satisfying to learn that someone found the package useful. I will be sending her a copy during the week plus a manual via a courier service since she availed the school’s mailing address.
At this point, I think it is wise for her school to partake in the story telling tour that will be executed by Victor Grigas who will be visiting Kenya after Wikimania.
Regards,
Stephen.
PS: Dennis, How far have you reached with the Syllabus you were working on?

Hello!
I will send the school the latest release of Kiwix (which is version 0.9 RC1). BTW,am informed that it will be released today. It has some new nice feats that I bet they will find useful some plus bug fixes.
To mention just but a few;
- Has a new theme that a user can switch to called ''Evolution''
- Html5 Video support
- Indexing improvement......so much more
To view the change log go to [1] and you are also welcome to test the new version that can be downloaded here [2]

indeed its encouraging to note that we having positive feedback from the WFS ,now i have encountered three cases in Western emanating from Kakamega pilot ,managed to reinstall the same having formatted their PCs , For the Mombasa one because of the logistical matrix involved i explored possibility of sending the DVD via dropbox n other large file sending methods but she could not understand how to go about that . My Question: Now that we are in the process of updating our Kiwix is it still prudent to continue re installing that one ?

Hello Folks!
In pursuant of the subject of this thread, I have been exchanging Emails with Emmanuel who will be assisting us to compile a new ZIM based on list at [1].
What I have garnered so far is that we overlooked the technicalities surrounding the addition and removal of articles from an existent ZIM file. His request is to have a list of articles that we want in a new ZIM rather than a revision of the UK based ZIM. Read his reply below though I think his mail was not under cc-by-sa ;)
I think what you want to do is not so simple for many technical reasons.
For example, I assume I will have to re-render all articles (old and new), otherwise we won't have all links between old and new article working. If I do that, the indexes links to the articles won't work anymore... I do not have the same naming nomenclature probably than the UK team.
And that brings me to the question. What next?

Hello!
I will send the school the latest release of Kiwix (which is version 0.9 RC1). BTW,am informed that it will be released today. It has some new nice feats that I bet they will find useful some plus bug fixes.
To mention just but a few;
- Has a new theme that a user can switch to called ''Evolution''
- Html5 Video support
- Indexing improvement......so much more
To view the change log go to [1] and you are also welcome to test the new version that can be downloaded here [2]

Hello Folks!
In pursuant of the subject of this thread, I have been exchanging Emails with Emmanuel who will be assisting us to compile a new ZIM based on list at [1].
What I have garnered so far is that we overlooked the technicalities surrounding the addition and removal of articles from an existent ZIM file. His request is to have a list of articles that we want in a new ZIM rather than a revision of the UK based ZIM. Read his reply below though I think his mail was not under cc-by-sa ;)
I think what you want to do is not so simple for many technical reasons.
For example, I assume I will have to re-render all articles (old and new), otherwise we won't have all links between old and new article working. If I do that, the indexes links to the articles won't work anymore... I do not have the same naming nomenclature probably than the UK team.
And that brings me to the question. What next?

Asaf,
We are just about done, hopefully by end if this week it is finalized. We have also started communication with the Kenya ICT board and other government bodies on distribution but we are still trying to create a workable roadmap on the same.

Are we done? Are we waiting on additional topics (by Dennis?)?
If/when the list is completely done, we'll proceed with creating an updated ZIM file, and then we can think about ways to distribute the Kenyan Offline Wikipedia.

Hello!
From my action points here [1] on our May meet-up regarding the compilation of the Kenyan curriculum, I just finished working on the last subject which is Agriculture.
Approximately there are about 600 suggested additions of topics at [2].
Next steps?

Hello Folks!
In pursuant of the subject of this thread, I have been exchanging Emails with Emmanuel who will be assisting us to compile a new ZIM based on list at [1].
What I have garnered so far is that we overlooked the technicalities surrounding the addition and removal of articles from an existent ZIM file. His request is to have a list of articles that we want in a new ZIM rather than a revision of the UK based ZIM. Read his reply below though I think his mail was not under cc-by-sa ;)
I think what you want to do is not so simple for many technical reasons.
For example, I assume I will have to re-render all articles (old and new), otherwise we won't have all links between old and new article working. If I do that, the indexes links to the articles won't work anymore... I do not have the same naming nomenclature probably than the UK team.
And that brings me to the question. What next?

Asaf,
We are just about done, hopefully by end if this week it is finalized. We have also started communication with the Kenya ICT board and other government bodies on distribution but we are still trying to create a workable roadmap on the same.

Are we done? Are we waiting on additional topics (by Dennis?)?
If/when the list is completely done, we'll proceed with creating an updated ZIM file, and then we can think about ways to distribute the Kenyan Offline Wikipedia.

Hi, Stephen and everyone.
Hello!
Emmanuel requested for an online meet - up via free node tomorrow so that we can discuss the way forward with the offline content development. Time is 7pm GMT (900pm Local time) Go to: webchat.freenode.net Channel: #kiwix
Is there a log or minutes of that meeting? What was agreed?
I think the idea in collecting the "diff" against the UK version was not that those articles will be added to _an existing ZIM file_, but that a _new ZIM file_ will be generated (as Emmanuel notes, it's the only way), based on the UK _list_ plus (i.e. union-with) your list.
Asaf
Hello Folks!
There was an IRC meeting yesterday at the #Kiwix channel on freenode whose major agenda was the way forward with getting our customized Kenyan ZIM file compiled and availed for download. In attendance from our chapter was Deonte and Oscar (though briefly). I will summarize the results of the meeting and if I miss out on anything, Dennis you welcome to point that out.
It would not be possible to successfully "add" the Kenyan articles to the existent UK based ZIM file for the fact that the indexing system used doesn't allow that and there would be no interwikilinks between the "old" ZIM articles and the added Kenyan articles.(This was my former understanding of this project)
After we present our list, the Developers will merge it with the UK list of articles that was used to create the UK based ZIM then they will create a huge HTML file which we will review to ensure there is nothing shocking for the children before they go ahead to avail the new ZIM.
It was also cited that the requested articles to be added are supposed to be submitted in a txt file and not the format that we had been using on meta at [1].
//Stephen.

Big ups @Abbas so far for that initiative & representation, if they are to outsource the job, why not suggest they give it to wikipedians due to our extensive expertise in this field! Thsts ma thought, regards.

Hello Folks!
In pursuant of the subject of this thread, I have been exchanging Emails with Emmanuel who will be assisting us to compile a new ZIM based on list at [1].
What I have garnered so far is that we overlooked the technicalities surrounding the addition and removal of articles
from
an existent ZIM file. His request is to have a list of articles
that
we want in a new ZIM rather than a revision of the UK based ZIM. Read his reply below though I think his mail was not under cc-by-sa ;)
I think what you want to do is not so simple for many technical
reasons. For example, I assume I will have to re-render all articles (old and new), otherwise we won't have all links between old and new article working. If I do that, the indexes links to the articles won't work anymore... I do not have the same naming nomenclature probably than the UK team.
And that brings me to the question. What next?

Asaf,
We are just about done, hopefully by end if this week it is finalized. We have also started communication with the Kenya ICT board and other government bodies on distribution but we are still trying to create a workable roadmap on the same.

Big ups @Abbas so far for that initiative & representation, if they are to outsource the job, why not suggest they give it to wikipedians due to our extensive expertise in this field! Thsts ma thought, regards.

Hello Folks!
In pursuant of the subject of this thread, I have been exchanging Emails with Emmanuel who will be assisting us to compile a new ZIM based on list at [1].
What I have garnered so far is that we overlooked the technicalities surrounding the addition and removal of articles
from
an existent ZIM file. His request is to have a list of articles
that
we want in a new ZIM rather than a revision of the UK based ZIM. Read his reply below though I think his mail was not under cc-by-sa ;)
I think what you want to do is not so simple for many technical reasons. For example, I assume I will have to re-render all articles (old and new), otherwise we won't have all links between old and new article working. If I do that, the indexes links to the articles won't work anymore... I do not have the same naming nomenclature probably than the UK team.
And that brings me to the question. What next?

Asaf,
We are just about done, hopefully by end if this week it is finalized. We have also started communication with the Kenya ICT board and other government bodies on distribution but we are still trying to create a workable roadmap on the same.

If/when the list is completely done, we'll proceed with creating an updated ZIM file, and then we can think about ways to distribute the Kenyan Offline Wikipedia.
