To be honest, we don't. We really do want to work with the people who do know though. Obviously some of the stuff we included for v1 doesn't make sense for certain regions, and we want to address this before any major deployment.

There's a mediawiki project called Afripédia [0] whose goal is kind of similar: put the whole wikipedia on a drive and install it on a pogoplug in multiple places in french-speaking African countries where accessibility is close to nil.

On the technical side they "only" have a wikipedia dump for the moment, but on the project side they have had some success in deploying it, so maybe you can have a look at what they do (warning: Afripédia is made by and for french-speaking people, you may have to learn it :)
