[Wikimedia Kenya] Offline distribution map

[Alex Wafula]

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.

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.

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:
