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. 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
