Hi,

I'm publishing this mail on behalf of the wikimedia foundation which tries
to find people who are interested in joining the Kiwix project:

"Kiwix is an open-source, cross-platform, free software offline reader for
Wikipedia and other collections of Web pages and related images.

Kiwix is always looking for new developers. We mainly need people with
skills
in C++ and with the GNU compilation tools. Kiwix is also based on Web
technologies as, for example, javascript or CSS, so a good Internet/Web
understanding is also essential.

The code base is not really complicated. Kiwix uses the best existing
software libraries in different domains as fulltext search, unicode
transformation or template rendering. We think this is pretty easy to
dive in the code.

Currently we are working on the 0.9 release and most of the work is
already done, but there is still a lot to do for the 1.0 release. This
will provide an internal content download manager. The solution
will use the best of P2P technologies, so, if you are interested in
mirroring strategy, Metalink, Bittorent, magnet, etc., contact us
at http://www.kiwix.org "

p.s.
This is not a job offer, we're looking for volunteers.
