This page summarizes the action plan for the Kiwix winter hackathon 2015. This hackathon has not a special motto but has for purpose to gather the developers who are currently the most involved in the developement of openZIM/Kiwix.

Goals

Kiwix-plug for RaspberryPi

Kiwix-plug works already with RasberryPi but this still needs a little bit work to have a public ready industrial solution.

Content/Download manger for Android

Kiwix for Android lacks a content manager allowing to quickly download/load/remove content within the app and without using the web browser

Better library system based on OPDS

The current solution based on a custom format has many flaws (the most important one being that it does not scale correctly). We should adopt a more standard & better format (based on) OPDS.

Kiwix for the Web

Kiwix for the Web development has already been started within the Evopedia project. The hackathon should be the occasion to release a first version.

Integrate geo-coordinates to the ZIM specs & standard library

World is going mobile and Kiwix users more an more have a device with geolocation abilities. User want to be able to search content based on geo-coordinates.

Make KA Lite interoperable with ZIM

Output forecast

Kiwix library online OPDS backend
  • Server-side solution to feed a SQLite library database (probably by extending manageContentRepository.pl)
  • OPDS service able to read the SQLite database and provide list/search features (to be newly developed in PHP or Python)
OPDS ready library/download manager
  • New Android app release using OPDS backend with a iOS/PC like lirbrary/download manager
Kiwix for the Web
  • Launch a first version of web app
  • Upgrade jszim to fix the few last issues and release a first official release
Kiwix-plug for Raspberry Pi

  • Try to install and benchmark XSCE/Kwiizi/Ideasbox/edupi
Geo-localisation
  • Release new version of zimlib with geoloc. index support
  • Patch zimwriterfs to generate ZIM files with geoloc. index
  • Upgrade ios/Android app to have a minimal support of this feature
KA Lite
  • Kiwix will be able to have the latest static Khan Academy Video contents exported for any given language that exists in KA Lite.
  • KA Lite will be able to import ZIM contents so content from Kiwix can be turned into a KA Lite channel

Achievements

  • Speed up Kiwix wiki by cleaning automatically content library history page.
  • Allow kiwix-serve to listen only on a specific interface (works on OSX & Linux) Feature request #935
  • Migrating all Sourceforge git code repository to Github
  • Finish kiwix-plug port for RaspberryPi(2)
