= Notes =
 
== Refine Kiwix UI ==
 
Improve the appearence. Appearance is important to gain confidence in the software and make the whole user experience better. I propose here to involve here someone with design skills and propose to implement his proposition after discussion in the app. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 20:39, 22 August 2011 (CEST)
 
Propositions:
* Better language switch menu organisation, they are now too much language in one list
* Still continue to improve the tabs design
 
== Automate zim file generation ==
 
Work on a solution to fully automatize the generation of full ZIM files. We need to simply and multiply the generation of Full ZIM files. I have currently script, but I need something to build on the top (a good Makefile for example and afterward a Web UI) to make them simplier to use.
 
==  Open bugs ==
 
Select a subset of bugs and improvment in the list we have build with our testers. They are a few bugs we *must* fix in the next release.
 
== XUL 2.0 ==
 
Migrate to xulrunner 2.0 to use the best of the Mozilla code and last improvments bug fix.
 
== KPIS ==
 
Implement KPIs. Is essential the measure the performance of the project, is also important for other sponsors.
 
== Improve Search Engine ==
 
Improve the search engine... currently it's OK, but we could be better. Here a few possible improvments:
* integrating stop words
* search pattern words in bold
* better ranking
 
== Archives ==
* [[/01-02-2011_01-01-06-2011|Season 1: Feb. to Jun. 2011]]
