Dear all, I had already "met" Shupai in the course of a board meeting but seeing information here about her background gives me an idea, or rather re-awakens an old one.
One of WIkimedia-ZA's outreach options considered over the years and occasionally implemented by individual members, is the use of Kiwix offline WIkipedias. Given that prison inmates are denied internet access, but do sometimes have access to computers for rehabilitation-related training, how about arranging installation in those computers of Kiwix in all SA official languages - and perhaps other content available from Kiwix in .ZIM file format, like Khan academy or TED videos? For extra points, how about WikiFundi which allows them to create content? Just flying a kite!
