Hi

A Kiwix version for Android was a long-standing feature request: a lot
of users wanted to enjoy ZIM file on their Tablet or Smart-phone. With
the explosion of devices using Android, implementing this feature was
always more pressing.

With the help of the WMF which is granting me for that project, I have
started to work on the Android port of Kiwix.

The idea is to re-use as much a possible the code we already have and
base this future application like the other on the Mozilla framework.
This is a challenging decision because we do not have a lot of
documentation and ifwe achieve we certainly will be one of the first
project to do it. You can get more details on this page:
http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Android

Hope to get a first running version around end of February.

Regards
Emmanuel
