AFAIK, 2.3+ supports Indic scripts.

I have a vanilla install - I'm assuming manufacturers have forks or
add-ons that get Indic Unicode working.
Android still doesn't support Indic rendering, it's only Samsung Ace which
supports, but rest don't. So, something to be done from the developers.
Hope, soon this would be solved in the forthcoming versions of Androids.

Santhosh,
I had spoken with one of the tablet manufacturers with Jessie. The current
Akash OS is indeed Android based so Indic language support is
poor/unavailable.
Debian based tablets are being discussed but the manufacturer indicated
that it was at least a year+ down the line.

Hi all,
Just a word of caution here.
Lift and ship approach will be a disaster. So any article that goes into
Kiwix, must be reviewed / tagged for legal compliance (Maps, others!), be
of decent quality and avoid controversial topics(Caste topics Hell no). We
must also check for copyvio images
I agree with you.
60 days is too less. It would take atleast 6-7 months of editing and
working to bring out such articles.

I concur heartily. There are no quick fixes. First of all we need topic
lists. We need to decide a balanced 500 topic list for India comprising
primarily India articles. This will be the base of any Offline effort.

I imagine this is happening too. I saw an OLPC being demoed at the

Hey Everyone!
I am so excited about the content of this email chain! There have been huge

Awesome Idea. Sounds right up our alley. I can help provide some support
around the content end but someone else will need to drive the project.
