=Kiwix=

Kiwix is a free, open-source browser designed for offline use, and this group has collaborated with Kiwix since 2006. The organization publishes collections of offline, free-use content such as collections of Wikipedia articles, a few of which are curated. The offline files are formatted as Zim files in order to be read using the Kiwix reader. Kiwix has these technical components:

MWoffliner is a MediaWiki scraper used for Wikimedia wikis and many others.
Kiwix Hotspot is a WiFi access point running on a Raspberry Pi computer to create a local WiFi network for sharing the offline resources to local users. For example, a teacher in a remote, rural school (with no internet) may set up a local Raspberry Pi computer as a local "server" to provide Wikipedia, public domain classic books, OpenStreetMap, Khan Academy videos, etc., to students in their classroom.
Zimit is a powerful scraper used for generating ZIM files directly from any (static) Website.

For the Kiwix article itself:

I will include some of this in the WP1 page also.
