Open Food Facts is not just a mobile app that's the Wikipedia for food. It's also a very valuable platform for developers, scientists and others.
 
 
 
 
=== Create a developper page for OpenFoodFacts.org ===
 
 
 
Goal: onboard prospective developpers and people wanting to use Open Food Facts in their app
 
 
 
- basic information about getting started as a contributor to the open source project
 
- rules around licence agreements, processes for pull requests and reviews, building the project, pointers to the Slack room, the API docs…

=== Build a dedicated documentation site ===
 
 
 
Build a central documentation site on a platform to be decided by the technical writer and open source mentor, and publish an initial set of basic documents on the site. Examples of platforms include:
 
 
 
* Read the Docs
 
* A static site generator such as Hugo, Jekyll, Sphinx, and more
 
* GitHub Pages
 
 
 
=== Write conceptual overviews of the Open Food Facts products ===
 
 
 
1. Write a conceptual overview and introduction to the Open Food Facts server
 
- Explain the high level goals, the architecture, the libraries used, the known limitations and the high level wishlist

2. Write a conceptual overview and introduction to Open Food Facts mobile app for iOS
 
 
 
- Explain the high level goals, the architecture, the libraries used, the known limitations and the high level wishlist
 
 
 
source code: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-ios
 
 
 
3. Write a conceptual overview and introduction to Open Food Facts mobile app for Android
 
- Explain the high level goals, the architecture, the libraries used, the known limitations and the high level wishlist

=== Refactor the "How to add a product" documentation ===
 
 
 
* Refresh screenshots and instructions to match the new UI
 
* Automate screenshot generation across languages
 
 
 
# Create a documentation of the advanced features of Open Food Facts for scientists, journalists…
 
 
 
* Document the advanced search feature, and the graph generation, with examples
 
 
 
=== Document the Open Food Facts API ===
 
 
 
1. General
 
 
 
The Open Food Facts API has grown organically through the years, and has been documented as we go, but not in a systematic way. New practices like automatic API generation from the Code could be added.
 
 
 
https://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/API
 
 
 
2. READ
 
 
 
The READ part of the API is very important for the official client, as well as for apps who send direct calls from their users to the API (provided volume stays reasonable).
 
 
 
The project can be divided in one part for the images, one for the data.
 
 
 
https://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/API/Read
 
 
 
3. WRITE
 
 
 
The WRITE part is very important to let apps send images and data contributed by their users, to Open Food Facts. The better documented, and the easier it is to implement contribution within 3rd party apps, the more images and data we'll get, the faster we'll have full food transparency worldwide.
 
 
 
The project can be divided in one part for the images, one for the data.

4. Automatic generation
 
 
 
Add documentation within the code to generate documentation and SDKs automatically. Automatic generation from code with things like Swagger would be very interesting
 
 
 
 
 
=== Automate screenshot generation of the mobile and web apps ===
 
* Refresh screenshots and instructions to match the new UI for the web tutorial (and possibly automate screenshot generation)
 
* On mobile (Android), finish to automate screenshot generation across languages, and add support for framing, text…
 
* On mobile (iOS), automate screenshot  generation across languages, and add support for framing, text…

=== Document how to install the Open Food Facts server ===
 
 
 
=== Document a "perfect" version 2 of the API before we code it ===
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
=== Extracting knowledge from Slack channels ===
 
Some knowledge is stuck in Slack channels. It would be interesting to extract relevant knowledge from them and structure it.
 
 
 
=== Write introduction pages for specific audiences ===
