Hi all,
A quick note to announce that Kiwix and the Wikimedia Foundation have decided
to enter a more formal partnership to replace the limited, project-based
approach we had until now. The official announcement is here:

The TL;DR of it is that we'll be able to continue to build on the massive
improvements we made over the past 18 months. We have 3 million users, and
there are 4 billion people without reliable access: there certainly is room for
more growth.
This is a first, small step, but an important one : for this year we'll focus
on improving user experience, and make it easier for people to access content
offline (aka zim farm). If this works well, I'd like us to look into
incremental updates as early as next year.
Thanks to everyone on this list that helped make it happen!
Emmanuel and Stephane
