I'm camerounian I built a webapp whose allows students to consult
wikipedia articles
So you don't need the originals, only thumbs.
without internet connectivity,many school accepted
the application and the application is hosted on a server and shared by
wifi on each school.
Nice! It seems you may want to use this existing software solution:
http://kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve
That way, you can use the available ZIM files with no need to generate
or download (and compress) the thumbnails yourself.
Example: http://www.wikimedia.fr/afripedia
Your help developing the software would be very useful and you could
avoid doing yourself what you don't have the resources (bandwidth) to do.
I have all the other dumps of wikipedia articles in
french and english;but I don't have any image because they are too heavy
for me to be downloaded to my side (3 TB) and I have a low bandwidth (40
ko/s when it's fast).
The webapp works on a browser and i don't know if the zim format can be
undecompressed to get small images (jpeg,png,svg...).
Kiwix is a browser, you can save anything you want AFAIK.

This is the video demo (3min in french) of the webapp

If I get small images in french and english to download to the app,my
problem will revolved.
Tank a lot Federico

What do you need them for?
Originals would be about 2+1 TB and anyone can download and ship
them for you:

<http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/imagedumps/tarballs/fulls/20121201/>
Otherwise there are the ZIM files with thumbnails compressed,
fr.wiki is 14 GB but en.wiki is not available yet.
