Wikipedia:WikiProject WikiFundi Content/WikiFundi:About

The WikiFundi is software that offers an offline editable environment that provides a similar experience to editing Wikipedia online. WikiFundi allows for training and contribution when technology, access and electricity outages fail or are not available at all. It enables individuals, groups, school students and communities to learn how to edit Wikipedia, and to work on articles collaboratively. Once completed and connected to the internet, these articles can be uploaded to Wikipedia.

WikiFundi is accessible via the closed networks created by offline servers, such as a Raspberry PI. The WikiFundi editing environment, beside WikiFundi itself, may provide an offline version of Wikipedia, Wikiquote, and other Wikimedia projects, introduction videos, teaching and learning resources, guidelines and article showcases. The software and resources can also be downloaded directly from the WikiFundi website.

The software is designed to support the WikiAfrica movement and Wikimedia volunteers across Africa by Florence Devouard and Isla Haddow-Flood at Wiki In Africa, in collaboration with Wikimedia CH. WikiFundi has been supported by the Orange Foundation and the Wikimedia Foundation. The WikiFundi Software and its documentation are licenced under CC-BY-SA 4.0. The software operates in English and French.
