  • 2-12 August

Hackathon

From the 2 to 7, developers will run a small hackathon and be present at the Wikimedia two tech. days. Goal is to release Kiwix 0.9rc3 at the end of the hackathon. The following things should be done:

  • Fix Buildbot and virtual machines for compilation.
  • Move Windows DVD launcher and installer to the "other" git repository
  • Rewrite/improve (make modular) the paths to search for library XML in the Kiwix library module
  • Makes the storage in the profile compatibles with the portable version (data/[content/index/library])
  • Make the library working in both relative/absolute paths at the same time
  • Migrate pugixml/libzim/ctpp2 outside the kiwix source code (dependencies)
  • Better loading approach (ask for indexing) by clicking on the "load" library button
  • Make a portable version of Kiwix for OSX
  • Run the integrity check in a separate thread
  • Fix the crash on OSX and Windows with vietnamese articles
  • Make Data directory cutomizable
  • Fix Tabs with RTL UI

Posponed

  • Migrate to XR20, in particular for OSX and Sugar
