Hello nice people! The Geography, History and CRE addition of non existent topics to the current SOS version of off-line Wikipedia is done! As at [1] below.
Dennis is still working on the business studies syllabus and as he promised he will be done by the end of this Month. I would suggest we use the talk page [2] for further communications with regards to the off-line project. Thank you everyone who has been working on this! //Stephen 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Content_Development/Schools/Kenyan_Topics 2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Offline_Projects/Content_Development/Schools/Kenyan_Topics On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 10:24 PM, Abbas Mahmood <abbas...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Asaf, > > The list of the contributors can be found here: > http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Offline_Projects/Content_Development/Schools/Kenyan_Topics&action=history > > > --Abbas. > > > ------------------------------ > From: abar...@wikimedia.org > Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2012 12:15:33 -0700 > To: wikimediake@lists.wikimedia.org > Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Offline Wikipedia: Kenyan Curriculum > > Thanks for this update, Stephen. > > I'd like to encourage you guys to make progress on this work, so we can > finally prepare a new ZIM file (we'll figure out the size problem if we > have too.
