We | We met us in Strasbourg (France) during 2 days for the fourth time to speak about many technical topics related to openZIM. New binding in Python and demo of a first client for Android were the most important moments of the meeting. We also make more clear a few aspects of the format and how we should use it. | ||
Ralf Schmidt from PediaPress visited our meeting for one day to learn about zimlib and discuss possibilities to integrate it into the Collection extension of MediaWiki. The result of this first meeting and coding was a working binding of Python using zimlib. This way PediaPress can easily use zimlib directly in their Python-based MediaWiki conversion toolchain. | |||
Christian Pühringer from Austria participated for the first time at an openZIM meeting. He has developed [https://github.com/cip/WikiOnBoard/wiki/ ''WikiOnBoard''], a ZIM reader for Symbian. During the meeting he showed us a prototype of WikiOnBoard running on Android. The remaining problem is that WikiOnBoard uses Qt, which is available on Symbian, but not on Android. So far a hack is needed to install Qt on Android. WikiOnBoard needs support for multitouch devices to keep up with new smartphone models. Therefore the openZIM has decided to sponsor such a phone - based on Symbian - to Christian for further developments. | |||
