=== Create a system to update taxonomies from Product Opener ===
Currently, we use a wiki based system for taxonomies, that we have to reload. This is error prone and requires maintenance work. This project would be about adding a system into product opener to let moderators define parent categories, add translations, wikidata links and various properties.<br><br>

=== Make Product Opener able to show revisions ===
Food and cosmetics change over time. Nutrition info, ingredients sometimes slightly change. Our contributors are here to document all that using photos, and then update the product.
Product Opener already stores basic changes, but once a product is edited, we can't see how it evolved over time. It would be tremendously interesting for nutrition science and contributors to be able to see how (positive) change happens over time.<br><br>

You can of course propose your own great idea, as long as it's suitable in terms of workload with the requirements of the Summer of Code.

=== Create tooling to import all EU-packaging codes ===
EU packaging codes are those little logos on food that -once decyphered- will tell you where the product was packaged and produced. Unfortunately, the data comes in many formats (XLS, CSV, HTML, and yes, even PDF).
This project is building on the basic Python script we have for 3 countries, and extend it to the rest of Europe.
Bonus point if you add Fishing codes and Recyclable Paper codes to that.
