=== Document the Open Food Facts API ===
 +
 +
1. General
 +
 +
The Open Food Facts API has grown organically through the years, and has been documented as we go, but not in a systematic way. New practices like automatic API generation from the Code could be added.
 +
 +
https://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/API
 +
 +
2. READ
 +
 +
The READ part of the API is very important for the official client, as well as for apps who send direct calls from their users to the API (provided volume stays reasonable).
 +
 +
The project can be divided in one part for the images, one for the data.
 +
 +
https://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/API/Read
 +
 +
3. WRITE
 +
 +
The WRITE part is very important to let apps send images and data contributed by their users, to Open Food Facts. The better documented, and the easier it is to implement contribution within 3rd party apps, the more images and data we'll get, the faster we'll have full food transparency worldwide.

 +
 +
4. Automatic generation
 +
 +
Add documentation within the code to generate documentation and SDKs automatically. Automatic generation from code with things like Swagger would be very interesting
 +
 +
 +
=== Automate screenshot generation of the mobile and web apps ===
 +
* Refresh screenshots and instructions to match the new UI for the web tutorial (and possibly automate screenshot generation)
 +

 +
 +
=== Document a "perfect" version 2 of the API before we code it ===
 +
 +
 +
 +
=== Extracting knowledge from Slack channels ===
 +
Some knowledge is stuck in Slack channels. It would be interesting to extract relevant knowledge from them and structure it.
 +
 +
