Hi,
they are a few thoughts I want to share we you and maybe few of them will trigger a discussion:
* Neither Tommi nor someone from Q-Hardware want to/can attend the next dev. meeting planned in May. Consequently I think this does not make sense to have this meeting (in May).
* Next meeting is the Linux-tag in Berlin which I hope will be a success like last year. But, I hope also that the Linux-tag won't be an occasion to take strategical decisions, this was not the case last year and that is a reason why I don't attend.
* We have a lack of ZIM files, I will work in the next weeks to provide ASAP full ZIM files for WP de: fr: es: pt: zh:... pl: would also not bad... isn't it? These will be draft ZIM files (do not await high quality.. but the most important will be there).
* Will also provide an Kiwix 0.9 alpha2 which will fix the few issues already detected in the Kiwix 0.9 alpha1 release... So we will have a prefect solution to read ZIM files under Windows.
* Still on the roadmap we have category handling and stuff releated to Meta-data and diff/patch. IMO most of these features should be implemented, tested and integrated before starting discussing deeply about other features.
* The next challenge is I think to easily build ZIM files. My question is: Do we have make progress on that question at the MWCON?
* Additional question: what is the agenda during Wikimania concerning openZIM and offline readers? The question if I should attend is still open in my mind.
Cheers Emmanuel
