Developer Profile
We need a motivated iOS developer which would be able at the same time to deal with the iOS SDK and also familiar with compilation on GNU/Linux. We search also someone who could be ale to maintain the app. at least during the first months. We believe, any motivated developer should be able to achieve that with the help of an experienced Kiwix developer.
Kiwix development is mostly based on volunteerism. So, this is not am offer for a paid position. However, we do our best to provide compensations to the investment of our team members.
