= Define a proper clean API (new version) =

The current REST API of the Open Food Facts database was built with time and can be improved from the point of view of its completitude, consistency and error management. This proposal is about defining and implementing a new API, thought from scratch and built by learning from the lessons of the previos experience. Solutions like Swagger can be envisaged to create a self documenting API and automatic bindings for various programming languages, but the proposal is not limited to this.<br><br>

Many core concepts of the Open Food Facts environment are organized as taxonomies (multilanguage categories of products, additives, etc).

Many core concepts of the Open Food Facts environment are organized as taxonomies (multilanguage categories of products, additives, etc).

Currently, we use a wiki based system for managing these taxonomies, that we have to reload in the Product Opener server every time we make updates to it. This is error prone and requires maintenance work. This feature is about adding a system in the Product Opener to allow moderators to define parent categories, add translations, wikidata links, etc.<br><br>

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.

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 these basic changes, but, once a product is edited, we can not see how it evolved over time. This project is about providing an interface for displaying the subsequent revisions of a product and all the tools that come with that (comparisons between versions, rollback, tracing an information to a revision, etc). It would be tremendously interesting for nutrition science and contributors to be able to see how (positive) change happens over time.<br><br>

Sometimes, the same error can sneak into a massive amount of contribution, for example related to a typo or a misunderstanding on an information on the packaging. In other situations, similar products might need to be updated in a similar way, for example filling in the type of packaging for all products of a same brand. This proposal is about creating a tool that would allow a moderator to easily select the products and perform these bulk changes on the selected products.<br><br>

= Re-work gamification and make it an important part of the User experience =

Currently there is a basic gamification system in Open Food Facts, giving badges to contributors based on their amount and type of contributions. However, this system is not receiving the attention it should, from a developement point of view, and the concept is not exploited to the maximum of its capabilities. As Open Food Facts relies on contributions from users, gamification can be used to improve retention of users, boost their contributions and increase the quality. Also, it can be used as a tool to drive the contributions in a direction that would not be followed naturally by the users but which is very valuable for the purpose of collecting open data. This proposal comprises the re-working of the gamification backend, along with ideas and implementations of the presentation of the badges, to make it an important part of the Open Food Facts experience.<br><br>

Currently, these texts are in the source code, or, in the best cases, stored and edited on the wiki and regularily migrated to the Open Food Facts database site.
