Wikivoyage is an interesting for Kiwix because:

  • This is not a huge content (500MB of text, plus optional images), so we don't have to deal with giga bytes of data.
  • This is an non-encyclopedic content.
  • This is an interesting content for non-connected people.
  • This is a perfect content for Kiwix for Android

Goal

  • Create a dedicated Android app for Wikivoyage providing the best of both Kiwix and Wikivoyage.
  • Better advert Wikivoyage on Kiwix web site
