We need to replace the current web site by a more simple and sexy one. This new one should be based on mediawiki and we already have a design. The wiki part, like we know it, would be still accessible but not push on the front of the Web site. So we need someone we good PHP & Web languages knowledges to do that. | We need to replace the current web site by a more simple and sexy one.

=== | === Compilation Platform === | ||
Mozilla Tinderbox | Kiwix is currently ported to 3 different platforms: MS Windows, Apple MacOSX and GNU/Linux. In addition, and this has to be kept in mind, they are many GNU/Linux distributions and also two architectures per platform. So we speak here of 10->20 files we have to prepare each time we release a new version of Kiwix. | ||
We currently do that manually and because we do not have a lot of packagers, most of the work is done by developers... by hand. We support always more platforms, so this takes always more time and consequently brakes the whole release management. In addition, doing that manually is a big source of errors. | |||
So we search someone to build a global software solution to fix that issue. This solution should allow to build all this files with only a few clicks or commands. This Solution should be fully documented and as cheap as possible. We think this should use virtual machines to avoid the need of a lot of expensive hardware. Our first researches were leading to Mozilla Tinderbox which seems to be the best alternative (but if you have a better idea, we are ready to discuss it): | |||

We search here someone with good knowledge in compilation, scripts languages like Perl and/or bash to setup and document this platform. | |||
