Hi This is the last report I will manage for the IWG. After 18 months of activity, I have decided to resigned as working group leader. The IWG was not able to get its own dynamic for multiple reasons. Time is come to a new start, to a new setup.
== Offline == * We have done two new releases of Kiwix for Android and reached 6.500 active installations on Google Play (Google Android App market). * WikimediaCH has decided to invest in 2014 ~40.000 CHF and 30% employee time for its new "Offline Dissemination Program" (ODP). * The Google Code-in program is almost finished and this already is a big success. Kiwix for Android has now many new interesting features and we have "recruited" a new talented and motivated Java developer who might work on the long term with the project. * We have reached 700.000 downloads of the different Kiwix versions in 2013 * We have started to release ZIM files of the Wiktionary * Release of a new tool called zimwriterfs to create your own ZIM file with data from your filesystem. * Kiwix 0.9rc3 is almost ready an should be released in the next days * Next Offline hackathon day/location is public: it will be in Zurich, between the 5-11 may (same week like the European hackathon) == Community building, International projects == WMTN: * WLM awards ceremony was organized at the Sousse Archaeological Museum, with a photo exhibition held there for two weeks * Mesh Sayada, a free wifi community network using routers distributed in the city of Sayada, has been installed and offers an access to free contents (including Wikipedia in Arabic and French) using kiwix-serve.
