* Suggestion system (based on the zimlib)
* Zoom
* "Open file" picker
* Simple, but clear, UI
* Home/back/forward buttons
 
=== Technical ===
* Code must be based on the [http://www.openzim.org/wiki/Zimlib zimlib] and Kiwix classes (C++)
* Code must be GPL
* Compilation should be able to run on a VirtualBox VM
* Package must be easily compilable, compilation steps must be documented in the COMPILE file

== Tasks ==
* Evaluate compatibility with iOS store rules

== Developer Profile ==
We need a motivated iOS developer which would be able at the same time to deal with the iOS SDK and also familiar with compilation on GNU/Linux. This person should also be able to maintain the app. (at least during the first 6 months). We believe, any motivated developer should be able to achieve this with the help of an experienced Kiwix developer; something with want to do.
 
Kiwix development is mostly based on volunteerism. So, this is not am offer for a paid position. However, we do our best to provide compensations to the investment of our team members.
