| Ideas | Rebuiling Open Food Facts from the ground up | ||
| John G | Ideas | Linked to rebuilding from the ground up. How best to split things up, e.g. by the type of analysis like Eco, Ingredients, Categorisation, etc. or by "Product Type", e.g. Food-related analyses (including Eco, etc.), Beauty products analysis, Pet Food products analysis, etc. We could split it even further, e.g. eco for pet food, eco for beauty products, etc. but then we might have too many things to manage. We want the organisation of the code to match the organisation of the community as much as possible. | |
