Kiwix-plug is a solution which provides a public Wifi hotspot allowing every person with a Wifi network card and a device to surf Wikipedia (or any content available as a ZIM file). Kiwix-plug is based on a small server call plug computer which is a computer as big as a fist and directly plugable on the power network.
The first development of this solution is granted by Wikimédia France in the scope of the Afripedia project.
Usage
The whole readme explaining how to setup a kiwix-plug can be found here.
