This page summarizes the action plan for the Kiwix Google Zürich Hackathon 2018.

Goals

Mossroy

In Kiwix-js:

  • Stabilize and optimize the ServiceWorker mode, to try to make it the default mode (on platforms that support it). This mode should be much more sustainable in the long term.
  • Improve performance by using WebAssembly (on platforms that support it) for the bzip2 decompression. Preliminary tests let us hope around 30% performance improvement.
  • Investigate on compiling the libzim to WebAssembly. If it's technically possible, it would allow to benefit from all the features and optimizations of this library, without the need of re-implementing them. If the people from Google know this technology, it might be a topic where they would be helpful.

Isaac

In Kiwix-Android:

  • Work on 3.0
  • Download improvements (improve stability)

Julian

In Kiwix-Android:
