🏗️ Open Food Facts current projects

Welcome to the Open Food Facts wiki!

We can use it to share and discuss ideas about the project and its sub-projects, to implement them and to document them. One of the first steps you can take is to create your user page. There, you can showcase your contributions, and it's even possible to start conversation with other users.
