[Wikimedia Kenya] Offline distribution map

[Jessie Wild]

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).
