Athens 2023

This page summarizes the plans for the Kiwix Hackathon 2023 in Athens (to not be confused with Hackathon 2023 Paris.

Date & Venue

From Thursday 18 May (evening) to Friday 26 May (morning) in Athens (we have rent a flat).

Logistics

DO NOT FORGET TO BRING AN EXTENSION CORD (and an adapter if you are not joining from mainland Europe).

FYI Greece uses the same C, E and F sockets as the rest of Europe.

Goals

The main goal of the hackahton is to focus on Zimit and all its software stack: Browsertrix, warc2zim, python-libzim, ...

We want to prepare next big iteration on Zimit, considering that current version is the result of of the first iteration of 2020-21.

We need to (does not have to be in this order):

• Asses current situation
  • Present current sofware stack and how it interacts together

• Agree on future features/architecture
  • Add support for Linux/Arm64
  • How communicate to a user the boundaries of a ZIM?
  • Should we still use Service workers?

• Fix current bugs and weaknesses
  • Incorrect relative URLs on top-level landing pages

• Implement new features

Agenda

From Friday to Sunday there is the Wikimedia Hackathon for which at least Matthieu and Kelson has registered.

After that we will be all gathered to focus on Zimit.
