once your ISO is available to do plan on merging with OpenDisc or maintaining it? I believe supporting MAC is a good move considering the number of users.
It would be a good idea, but I've spent all day working on this and it looks like it might be beyond me; I can't get any help from anyone with kiwix, the current version is only for Linux and none of the older versions (such as the one used on OpenDisc) are available for download other than as part of a (large) CD image, and I have no idea how osx normally handles software on CD but it seems there's no autorun and it's virtually impossible to launch any kind of installer from a web browser (security features). This has been a very frustrating day. Also adding any software to OpenDisc is a painful process. Judging from the existing pages it looks like they've been building all the html by hand, one program at a time. Slow and painful, and I've found quite a few errors already. I used to maintain my own similar CD and had scripts to build the html from plain text descriptions, but I don't really have time to re-write all those scripts for OpenDisc so we'll be lucky if we can add more than a few programs and still have enough time to burn all the disks.
