Lyon 2021
This page summarizes the action plan for the Kiwix Hackathon Fall 2021.
Goals
Offspot
- POC Docker common base OLIP/OFFSPOT Renaud/Florian
- https://github.com/offspot/kiwix-hotspot/issues/429
Kiwix JS
- Use emscripten to compile and try to use libzim & kiwix-lib : Mossroy/Geoffrey/Matthieu
- Setup infrastructure for i18n of kiwix-js : Geoffrey/Mossroy
- Backport most of the UI of kiwix-js-windows : Geoffrey/Mossroy
- Switch the default mode to ServiceWorker : Mossroy/Geoffrey
- Discuss a method to read remotely an index (in JS), hard problem of #659 : Kelson/...
Libzim
Achievements
Offspot-OLIP
- Agreed on multi-steps roadmap to build OLIP and Offspot images from a single toolchain that will ultimately be operated by the Cardshop and/or OLIP Marketplace.
- Agreed on development distribution and schedule (debuts in April 2022)
- Created repositories for base-image and image-creator
Zimfarm
- New Zimfarm Drive and move files needed by recipes in it.
Kiwix JS
- Latest libzim can now be compiled easily and properly with emscripten. It's ready to be integrated in kiwix-build.
- A proof of concept shows that we are able to use this libzim in javascript to read ZIM content, including xapian full-text search. But there is still a limit on the ZIM file size on the emscripten side : we've created an issue there, with a simple test-case.
- An incomplete integration of this libzim in kiwix-js is available in a PR, and makes use of libzim to read most content. It works well, but is currently slower
- A PR is ready to implement the workaround to use ServiceWorker mode in Firefox extensions, which is a pre-requisite to switch to ServiceWorker mode by default. The PR has still to be polished a bit.
- A decision has been made on how to handle external links in ServiceWorker mode (which was also a pre-requisite to switch to ServiceWorker mode by default)
openZIM
- Released v7 of docker-publish-action with webhook support (to trigger auto-deploy on Sloppy)
