Tech Team

We have a lot of development work to do: on the Open Food Facts backend (Perl and MongoDB), API (JSON), web site (HTML5, JS, Foundation), iOS / Android / Windows Phone / FirefoxOS apps (currently developed in HTML and JS with Apache Cordova / Phonegap), to build new cool reuses etc. Our code is on GitHub.

Needs

• We firstly need resources that work on issues. There is many issues, categorized by topics, see:
  • Website and server issues
  • Android app issues
  • All the repositories

Principles

• You have to discuss the topics or issues or functionalities you want to work on. Slack is the best choice for it.
• You should open an issue on Github to explain the problem you want to solve or the functionnality you want to work on.
• You fork the project and create one branche per issue or functionality you want to work on. When you're ready to propose something, you send a "pull request".

Coding style is defined in the .editorconfig file, see https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/master/.editorconfig
