Hi Manuel, thanks for the answer!
ZIM would be for desktop use though. That's a definitely a good start, and we should pursue this in parallel. How do you enable ZIM in the Collection extension? However, my understanding is that ZIM files do not allow incremental updates. With our site in Africa, we can only push ~ 10s of MB per night, so incremental updates are essential. We're also looking for a server-based solution, so that we only need to distribute to our low-power server.
