Revision as of 19:45, 14 February 2016

Here is the list of Open Food Facts proposed projects for the Google Summer of Code.
Any questions can be asked on the dedicated channel on Slack (https://openfoodfacts.slack.com/messages/summerofcode)

Projects common to Open Food Facts and Open Beauty Facts

Integrate a cloud-based OCR into Product Opener

  • Process all uploaded images proactively using Tesseract and/or the New Cloud based engine
  • Store JSON and return a processed version to mobile client and/or web client for suggestions to the user
  • Add support to search into OCR results
  • Create a mini-game to let users turn the Raw OCR into data

Mentor:Stéphane or Laurent
Language:Perl

Improve the edit workflow on mobile

Open Food Facts and Open Beauty Facts rely on crowdsourcing. The easier it is for contributors to complete a product, the faster the base grows. This project is about improving the contribution flow on the mobile app.

Mentor:Stéphane and Pierre
Language:Strong UX skills, good knowledge of Cordova, good HTML and Javascript

Improve the edit workflow online

Open Food Facts and Open Beauty Facts rely on crowdsourcing. The easier it is for contributors to complete a product, the faster the base grows. This project is about improving the contribution flow online.

Mentor:Stéphane and Pierre
Language:Strong UX skills, good HTML and Javascript, some knowledge of Perl

Create a power contribution tool

Open Food Facts and Open Beauty Facts rely on crowdsourcing. The easier it is for contributors to complete a product, the faster the base grows. This projects is about creating a standalone power-edit tool using the API

Mentor:depending on your tech choice
Language:Any web language (Rail, Python, Backend JS framework)

Create an Open Food Facts mobile game

Imagine a game where products would be useful items on your quest, and scanning them would unlock bonuses, Lifepoints… This is about creating a game that would be a fun way to discover more about food or cosmetics and/or contribute to Open Food/Beauty Facts.

Mentor:
Language: Java, Swift/ObjC or Web technologies (Cordova…)

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.

Mentor:Stephane or Laurent
Language: Perl, some HTML/JS

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.

Mentor:Stephane or Laurent
Language: Perl, some HTML/JS


Your own idea

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.


Open Food Facts specific projects

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. Mentor:Pierre
Language: Your language of choice. The current script is in Python


Open Beauty Facts specific projects
