David, I'm not a techie, so I can't really comment on any of this. But I do know some MediaWiki folks as well as some people on WMF's tech/mobile department. So if you need their help/support, I'd be happy to connect you to them :-) All the best, Abbas. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 09:50:31 +0300 From: raidarmax(a)gmail.com To: wikimediake(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikimedia Kenya] Idea - Schools project upper phase Guys, 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... -- ------------- David Mugo, ICT & E-Commerce Consultant, http://majibu.com Twitter: @raidarmax _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake
