Hello
We have a couple WikiFundi sets still for grab. Feel free to apply if
you are interested.
If not, we will bring the extra to WikiIndaba anyway in case some
participants change their minds ;)

*What is Wikipack Africa ? *
WikiPack Africa is an action pack containing devices, material and
content to facilitate the outreach work done by local Wikimedia
chapters, local Wikimedia User Groups and isolated individuals in
African countries. The pack allows for ongoing training and
contribution even when technology, access and electricity outages fail
or are not available at all.
It operates thanks to a Raspberry server and an off-line editing
environment that mimics the Wikipedia called WikiFundi. WikiFundi, the
offline editing environment, is to be used in the training of
Wikipedians and the development of articles by groups.
In addition to WikiFundi, the Raspberry PI will also be loaded with
off-line copies of Wikipedia, select WikiBooks, Wiktionary and a
resource pack that will assist with and support contribution to
Wikipedia. Other outreach and reading resources will also be part of
the packs. All digital resources and the application platform are
available under a free licence. When delivered, the Wikipack Africa
will also comprise some offline materials (posters, leaflets, pull-up
banner, tee-shirts, etc.).
The langages implemented are French and English.
More information available at

Documentation on meta is available in both langages
The current call for application is meant to be a pilot for the
Wikipack Africa. We have a limited number of servers available, so
please only make a request if you really intend to use the pack and
are confronted to connectivity issues.
Please note: should your request be granted, there will be an
obligation to provide details of its use, and usefulness as a tool
for outreach in the form of a survey. This could be requested several
times up to 12 months after you have received the unit. This is meant
to evaluate the userfulness of the tool as well as identify issues or
to help us take into account improvement requests in a future release.
