It is possible to give access to these ZIM even with offline kiwix-serve. This will just be not user friendly as the user will have to go through the warning triggered by the browser because of the lack of CA certified certificate. This is the way we will follow for the moment in Kiwix-Hotspot to give access to these ZIM files. The experience will show us how the users can (not?) deal with this. > 3) Does anybody see any practical way forward, for us all to pull > together here, towards giving offline / low-income communities a very > pragmatic way forward? This is probably possible with an additional serious software engineering effort to replace the Service-Worker based wabac.js. This has been discussed here: https://github.com/openzim/warc2zim/issues/48. If this kind of ZIM has a lot of success and we find a financing to that, this is not excluded we will work on this in the future, but not for the moment.
