Fácil de usar, Kiwix es perfecto para niños

Kiwix ofrece una amplia gama de funciones para ayudarte a obtener, valorar y compartir el contenido de acuerdo con tus intereses.

Sería largo y aburrido para mencionarlas a todas, he aquí las más importantes:

Portable

Kiwix corre en una OLPC XO

Kiwix es una aplicación portable que no necesitas instalarla para usarla. Puedes copiar la carpeta de Kiwix y ponerlo donde quieras: en el disco duro, una unidad flash USB o DVD. Si quieres una mejor integración en tu sistema, se dispone un instalador adicionalmente.

'Kiwix es compatible con una amplia gama de sistemas y arquitecturas.' Se puede utilizar con todos los principales sistemas operativos de escritorio como Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X y GNU/Linux compatibles con las computadoras personales. Con GNU/Linux, muchas distribuciones ofrecen paquetes de Kiwix.

Kiwix es un software muy pequeño y compatible, se puede instalar en computadoras viejas. Puedes utilizarlo en dispositivos mínimos como el Raspbperry Pi o computadora de enchufe.

Fácil de usar

Kiwix se encuentra en persa y otros 80 idiomas.

Ya sabes cómo usar Kiwix: ya que funciona tal como un navegador web! Kiwix proporciona todas las características que te gusta usar en tu navegador de Internet: marcadores, pestañas de navegación, la historia, zoom y atajos de teclado.

Kiwix ofrece una presentación perfecta de la página. Completamente basado en tecnologías Web, Kiwix permite tener una representación similar (si no idéntica) a la original. Por fin puedes disfrutar Wikipedia exactamente como si estuvieras conectado.

Kiwix is translated into your native language. You don't need to learn English or have your lexicon next to you. Kiwix is localised in more than 80 languages and works perfectly with non-latin languages.

Library

Kiwix has its own library

Kiwix has its own library which allows you to gather all the content at first sight. Each content is listed with its meta data and you can easily open or remove it. Sorting, filtering and searching features help you to quickly find the content you want to find.

The library provides a practicable view over the online catalogue; you can download a new content in one click. This is the easiest and most secure way to complete your own local library with content coming from the Internet. At each start, Kiwix will check for new content, update online and notify you about new content available.

Search engine

The Kiwix full text search engine works like your favourite Web search engine.

Kiwix has many search features which will help you to come quickly on target:

  • The full text search engine allows you to search over all the content. It shows you the results in a similar way like your favourite Web search engine.
  • You can also simply use the title suggestion system which dynamically pops up and proposes articles with corresponding title while you are typing in the search box.
  • Once you have found an article, the search in page will help you to come directly to the exact part of the article you want to study.

Web server

Share content on your LAN using HTTP.

With Kiwix, you can share content on your LAN and even on Internet. Kiwix integrates a HTTP/Web server, which can be started on demand, directly from the Kiwix user interface. Then, all users sharing the network can simply access your content using their browser, without installing themselves Kiwix or downloading any ZIM file.

Called kiwix-serve, this server can also perfectly be started independently; it's available as a separate command line executable. This can be pretty useful if this is the only usage of Kiwix, on server or small devices. We use it, for example, for our Wifi hotspot solution.

Open

Everybody can help!

Kiwix is an open project, you deserve this openness. We think openness and transparency are not only needed regarding our users, but also the best way to deliver you the most adapted solution.

Kiwix uses open formats and protocols. Kiwix uses the open Web formats and the file format ZIM, which was created by the openZIM project. It's export feature works with a few other ones: PDF, HTML or paper. To exchange data on Internet, Kiwix uses only open protocols like HTTP, Bittorrent and Metalink.

The Kiwix project has adopted an open development process and produces open-source software. Everybody can freely execute, copy, modify and share Kiwix. You are rather invited to join and help the development, then it will really be yours!
