How can you edit this mind map?

Please do edit, add and comment on this mindmap! You can create a free account to edit the map: https://www.mindmeister.com/fr?r=40389 This mind map started on January 18th 2013. This is an evolving roadmap, you can edit it anytime

Who is interested in contributing and discussing this roadmap?

name (or userid on OFF) discuss it by video conference? (e.g. on Google+) Would you be interested to meet in Paris in February? Roadmap contributions
Stéphane Gigandet - User:stephane yes yes yes
User:Manu1400 yes yes yes
Grégoire Japiot yes yes
Javichu yes
amine yes
Teolemon yes yes yes
David Bourguignon yes yes
Minchetas

How can we gain more products coverage?

(See Project:Partnerships)

  • Partnership with stores (organic food for example)
  • Partnership with food product companies
Invite companies to add their products
  • Promote opendata in the food industry
  • Lobby the government to force opendata/publication of product characteristics in the food industry
  • Distribute leaflets prompting local producers to add their products at Le Salon de l'Agriculture and other such events
  • Propose a mode in the App to ask the user to scan a specific kind of product (can you scan a Bread Loaf ?) that is under-represented in the DB
  • Incentivize users
  • Crawl ecommerce websites (Carrefour, Auchan...)

How can we get more qualitative coverage?

(See Project:Error detection)

e.g. better pictures, more complete and accurate data etc.

Make UI improvements to streamline additions

  • select from categories rather than allowing free-text entry (current entries should be merged into the proper categories)

Prompt the user when he is home via random (and few) notifications around lunchtime "Hey wanna open your fridge and contribute ?"

add a cooking time field

Use several clues to orient images properly

  • EXIF Data
  • Text orientation through OCR
  • Enable image rotation without having to edit the whole page

How can we make adding products easier or faster?

See Project:OCR

Automate the process as much as possible

  • try to detect the oval circle around the origin data
  • try to detect the AB logo automatically
  • try to detect a bunch of stuff automatically
  • perform OCR on all new products

Get inspired by Amazon Mechanical Turk / Open Food Repo?

  • I'm not familiar with it, any examples of ideas / UI design / processes etc. that we could draw inspiration from ? -- Stephane
  • it's basing turning all the work to do in very simple jobs, doable by anyone, even with French knowledge
  • You can gamify it and give it to volunteers or give the small jobs to Amazon mechanical turk, and people will do them for a couple of euro cents

Radically simplify the UI

use the HTML5 API to let desktop users take photos

Use design cues from Wikipedia to reduce learning time

  • position of login/logout
  • position of international version
  • position of special pages
  • ...

In the Awards thing, let people click on the given example to add them to the field. I can't be bothered to type AB each time.

Reduce the length of the page so that you can always have the packaging for reference without having to scroll. Otherwise, the fields that can't be seen alongside the packaging are less likely to be filled (for a coynter example, look at what is done for nutrition data)

Take hints from CodeCheck

How can we improve the existing data?

Harmonize brands, categories, labels, packaging etc.

(See Global taxonomies)

Categories

Under way in French

Ingredients

Reward merging and make it super easy and fun to merge

Part of the app where the system asks yes/no questions for suspected duplicates.

Add more data

Additives

Origin, risk levels etc.

Taste Profile

Think Mymuesli; for some products it is equally as interesting to know how it tastes as how healthy or sustainable it is. It is a balance.

Move to Wikidata

Link data with Freebase/Wikidata (using Brands and Companies) (link)

Special projects

Aspartame

See https://fr.blog.openfoodfacts.org/news/evaluation-de-l-exposition-a-l-aspartame

Differences in products from one country/region to another

See Project:What's in my yoghurt?

  • Europe & Africa
  • France & French Carribean
  • Spain and Latin America

Meat Scandal: where does the ingredient in a product come from ?

Partner with health organisations

Salt

Obesity

What else can we open besides food?

Wine

See Project:Wine

Cosmetics

See Project:Cosmetics

Prescription drugs

See Project:Drugs

?

What cool things could we do with the data?

Dataviz

(See project Project:Dataviz)

New graphs that show the actual colors of food coloring in products

e.g. in scatter plot or pie charts

Add geographical info as much as possible (link with Open Street Map)

Represent in a map a category of products to see their regional distribution: citrics, oliva oils, wines, beers...

Trying to encourage local food consumption: e.g. following the California's 100 miles movement, place in a map a cicle surrounding your site with a 100 miles (or km) distance and the products inside that circle. More concentric circles can be added at diferent distances: 300 km, 1000 km...

How can we improve the mobile apps?

(See project Project:Mobile Apps)

Streamline and simplify contributions

Features for users (and not just contributors)

Product comparator?

Barcode recognition-based cookingTimer which uses the recommended cooking time on OpenFoodFacts or prompts it if not available

Don't be afraid to prompt for contributions via notifications

How can we boost international versions and communities?

See Project:Internationalization

Language Nb products Local Coordinator Translated Web UI Translated iOS app Translated Android app Translated categories Facebook group Twitter account Localized blog Reach out to local bloggers Country-specific missions Harvested publicly available data
