Kiwix/Plan 2022-2023
< Kiwix
Here is Kiwix' Annual plan for FY2022-2023.
Deliverables for the first half of the fiscal year will include: (i) Beta release (after Milestone 3 is completed) of a Content Management System; and (ii) fix and release of Kiwix-Android 3.4.6/3.4.7 on the Google Play Store and F-Droid.
Goals and Outcomes edit
1. Maintain the quality of our content.
- The key to success (and sustainability) for offline access is the availability of a broad range of contents that are easy to find, share and use.
- For the first half of the fiscal year we will focus on rolling out our new Content Management System that will ensure that end users are not met with corrupted or incomplete zim files
2. Maintain (or improve) ease of access to offline content
- The goal here is to ensure that all platforms and dependencies are up-to-date. The expected outcome is that users have no particular issue downloading, installing and using Kiwix.
