| Task | Title | Description | Next step | Progress | Bug |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #0 | #Search in text improvement | We should merge search in text and search in ZIM and have nicer searchbar & search button. | proposal | 10% | [1] |
| #1 | #Bad MacOSX Quit menu item | MacOSX Quit menu item in File menu is odd to see | realisation | 0% | [2] |
| #2 | #Dead "adding content" link in the help | "Adding Content" paragraph does not exist in the Help page in English | realisation | 0% | [3] |
| #3 | #Revanp the help page | The help page must be more complete, more sexy, with screenshots. It should also provide an easy way to download new content. | proposal | 0% | |
| #4 | #Download manager | For most of the user, this is too complicated to download separatly the content. The download must be integrated in Kiwix itself | realisation | 20% | |
| #5 | #Google-styled search result page | Displaying the results in the sidebar is not good. We should display the results like google in a tab. | realisation | 10% | |
| #6 | #Localisation improvement | Kiwix has too few locales and it is too complicated to update them. | realisation | 30% | |
| #7 | #ESC to quit Fullscreen | This should be possible to press ESC to qui the fullscren. | closed | 100% | |
| #8 | #User unfriendly index dialogbox | Change the invitation to index message to "This file does not include a search index. Creating one may take several minutes. Do you want to index your ZIM file now?". | closed | 100% | |
| #9 | #Search misses some articles | Some articles included in the Wikipedia Version 0.5 ZIM file I tested were not matched by searching and could only be viewed by clicking a link to them. | closed | 100% | |
| #10 | #Unecessary doubleclick by suggestions | If a match is chosen from the pop-up search suggestions, it should probably go ahead and execute that search rather than waiting for the user to hit enter. | realisation | 0% | |
| #11 | #Desktop File browser integration | ZIM file mime-type should be recognized as "application/x-zim", icon should be the kiwix one and double click on them should start kiwix and open the file. | realisation | 30% | |
| #12 | #non-functional search icon in toolbar | Seems to be non-functional. | reprocase | 0% | |
| #13 | #Bad "transliteration" menuitem on OSX | realisation | 0% | [4] | |
| #14 | #Unsual keyboard shorcuts on OSX | In the Mac version, the Keyboard shortcuts are not typical for a Mac application (normally the Command key is used rather than Control). Regardless, they do not actually work using either keys. | realisation | 0% | |
| #15 | #History navigator | You can purge your history, but you can't view it. It would be nice to be able to browse through your history either from a menu or the Sidebar.. | discussion | 0% | |
| #16 | #Back button wrong behaviour | While it was indexing, I decided to try clicking some article links. This worked fine, although I was not able to return to the home page by using the back button. (Strangely this only happened the first time I left the home page.

Search in text improvement
There is also a small bug: If the search term is not found, it returns an error saying "[JavaScript Application] The text you entered was not found." The "[JavaScript Application]" part should probably be removed or replaced. Ryan
Dead "adding content" link in the help
Rewant the help page
Download manager
Google-styled search result page
As previously discussed, Google-style search results would be a nice alternative to the current Sidebar implementation, especially if it could include a brief snippet from each article. Perhaps you could configure what type of search you prefer from a preferences menu. Ryan
Localisation improvement
We will migration to translatewiki.net. We know how to make the migration, I still need to work on the migraation scripts, new templates and import scripts. Kelson 13:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
ESC to quit Fullscreen
User unfriendly index dialogbox
Search misses some articles
Unecessary doubleclick by suggestions
Desktop File browser integration
Gnome done, OSX, KDE and Windows still to do. Kelson 14:12, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
