<translate><!--T:3--> | |||
[https://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki] is the wiki engine behind [https://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], all [https://www.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia projects] and thousands other Web sites. It's a cutting edge free software providing highly featured web sites that anybody can edit. MediaWiki hosted content can be made available for offline usage through the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection Collection extension] (written in PHP). The Collection extension allows to easily create collection/selection of articles: so called books ; here is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Book how it works on the English Wikipedia]. Once created, books can be exported in PDF format. The PDF exporting backend itself is not provided by the Collection extension, it's done with a JavaScript based solution called [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Offline_content_generator OCG]. OCG is a NodeJS daemon able to transform a book definition in a PDF and it should be able to do the same in the ZIM format. The [http://www.openzim.org ZIM format] allows to store web pages (with images, videos, etc...) in one extremely compressed file. These pages are then available to read on most computers with a reader like [http://www.kiwix.org Kiwix]. A [https://github.com/cscott/mw-ocg-zimwriter stub of solution] has already been written and the [https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/other/ci/master/tree/mwoffliner/ MWOffline] is already functional. This [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73660 task] is mostly about merging them. | |||

Look [[Video|here]] for more details. | |||
<translate>=== Testing platform === <!--T:4--> | |||
We need a solution to test automatically Kiwix. We have currently nothing... so we start from scratch! | |||
</translate> | |||
=== | <translate>=== Wikipublish === <!--T:5--> | ||
< | </translate> | ||
</ | |||
<translate><!--T:6--> | |||
Create a publication platform, a Web site online similar to iTunes which would provide the list of available contents to download in ZIM, EPUB, .... also offer to see the book before downloading it. | |||
</translate> | |||
<translate><!--T:7--> | |||
* [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Library/Wikipublish#Volunteers Want to know more...] | |||
* Add support of EPUB in Kiwix | |||
</translate> | |||
<translate>=== OSM === <!--T:8--> | |||
Make a proof of concept of a ZIM file providing a map using OSM data and a tool like [http://openlayers.org/ openLayer]. | |||
</translate> | |||
=== | <translate>=== Improve P2P support === <!--T:9--> | ||
* Fix Mirrorbrain to [http://mirrorbrain.org/issues/issue92 integrate torrent links in mirrorbrain] | |||
* Fix Mirrorbrain to [http://mirrorbrain.org/issues/issue83 support fallback torrent trackers in .torrent files] | |||
* Add a way to exchange library and content on a local network (for example, using "bonjour" & BitTorrent DHT) | |||
</translate> | |||
=== [[Linux Packaging project]] (assigned) === | |||
<translate>=== Ambassador Program === <!--T:10--> | |||
<!--T:14--> | |||
Create an '''ambassador program'''. '''Ambassadors''' would be special people especially aware about Kiwix and able to help others: | |||
* Spread contents | |||
* Make conferences | |||
* Make advertisement | |||
* Local representative | |||
<!--T:15--> | |||
To do that, we should develop a set of tools: | |||
* Advertisement Package | |||
* Ambassador program definition | |||
* Map base on Ushahidi to locate them | |||

<translate>==== Starter Kit (Assigned) ==== <!--T:11--> | |||
Perhaps a nice kit would help. You know, like for organizing Linux installation parties[1] or Mozilla's event kits[2] etc., that encourages people, and provides step-by-step guidance and advice, to go and install Kiwix with a relevant offline Wikipedia file in their local no-Internet (or restricted/expensive Internet) school, college, community center, etc. | |||
<!--T:16--> | |||
Would anyone be interested in working on that? WMF can contribute funding for some materials -- a Kiwix quick-start guide or cheatsheet, stickers, T-shirts. | |||

<translate>== Video == <!--T:12--> | |||
It would be great to have a video (screencast) presenting the software with its most important features. | |||
<!--T:17--> | |||
Here is a proposition: | |||
* Presentation slide of the video with slide and authors | |||
* Presentation of the context (Online Wikipedia put offline of a DVD) | |||
* Presentation of the principle of Kiwix and ZIM | |||
* Starting Kiwix | |||
* Open file | |||
* Indexing file | |||
* surfing | |||
* searching | |||
* special features: fullscreen, switch language, font bigger/smaller, random page, etc. | |||
* Finish (present the ZIM availables and how to download them) | |||
