Phet
  • Release a new version of Phet Simulation with an improved UX
  • Add category filtering
HTML5 (Javascript)
  • Launch the first pure HTML ZIM read browser extensions (FF+Chrome)
Search
  • Fix fulltext search/indexes problems
ZIM building
  • Setup a ZIM building scheduler (with Celery?)
Ideascube builder
  • Get a Qemu Raspbian image ready in Travis

Apache

zip2zim (zimwriterfs as a service)

Create an online tool for converting zip files of HTML into deployable zim files

Group Discussion Topics

During the hackathon we'd like to discuss various topics collectively. These include:

  • UX and particularly Onboarding
  • Desktop apps
  • Incorporating analytics

We aim to agree a topic with about a day's notice so those who wish can do some preparation, e.g. reading up, sharing ideas and notes, etc.

UX & Onboarding

When: 14:00 ish Tuesday 4th April 2017

Intro

We believe large numbers of users only use the app briefly before abandoning it. There are various ideas why this might be so. Perhaps they don't understand what the app can do for them, or they may find it hard to get started. There may be problems downloading content, etc. Also, with our growth in custom apps, including non-Wikipedia content such as PhET simulations, perhaps the user interface, menu options, and some of the functionality is a poor fit for the content and capabilities. We'd like to discuss the UX, including onboarding (getting users from first starting the app to using it productively), and consider ways we might usefully improve the UX.

Sum up of the meeting : UX and Onboarding

Automatic testing

When: Wednesday 5th April 2017

Intro

Some repos already have automatic testing (unit tests and/or UI tests). Some other ones plan to add it.

We should discuss our experience/ideas on that topic, and see if we could do something in common.

Sum up of the meeting : Automatic testing meeting on 2017-04-05

Achievements

Browser extensions

A basic browser extension has been commited.

Before it is available from Google and Mozilla extensions system, it can be installed manually :

  • For Firefox :
    • download the .xpi file from https://framadrop.org/r/Sq5oZm0Uv0#pcLwtwvzsSuFzCeSFsqNDgXf8tzo4riA56teTIX7YVE=
    • open a new tab with URL "about:debugging"
    • click on "load a temporary module" and choose the xpi file
    • It's expected that only the jQuery mode will work under Firefox extension (Firefox limitation for now)
    • This jQuery mode works well on wikipedia ZIM files, but has not been tested on other kind of ZIM files, where it should have big limitations
  • For Chromium/Chrome :
  • On both browsers, a Kiwix icon should appear on the right of the address bar
  • If you click on this icon, it should open a new tab with the Kiwix application. You must then choose your ZIM file(s), and you should be able to browse it

Gutenberg scraper

  • Updated dependencies and made it python3 compatible
  • Parallelized long-running operations: download, parsing and export
  • Fixed 3 bugs related to the scraping process

Sotoki

youtube scrapper

Android

  • Restructured project to allow for easier testing and readability.
  • Various bug fixes
  • Introduced new developers to tooling and processes
  • Travis CI

zimwriterfs

Ideascube builder

  • Communication between python script and QEMU process
    • establish ssh connection
    • enable ssh server via QEMU process input/output
  • Setting up environment for ansiblecube (as buildMyCube.sh does)
  • Script configuring and compiling linux for QEMU armhf emulation (does not have options for ansiblecube captive portal yet)

zip2zim

PhET

  • Category Filtering
  • UI/UX improvements
