A few of us are planning to work on some improvements to the Commons Android app during the hackathon and the pre-hackathon that is being held in Prague. A rough list is shown below, but more details can be found on our GitHub issues page under the [[ https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/labels/prehackathon%2Fhackathon | #prehackathon/hackathon label ]].
- ~~Display the "Nearby places that need pictures" results on a map in addition to the current list-based format~~
- Make overlay menu in the map display Nearby item details correctly
- Switch to a Wikidata query for Nearby results
- Improve UI
- Enable two factor authentication for login
Additionally, we plan on having a few short sessions:
- Discussion with Wikipedia Android app devs to share knowledge and discuss how to reduce technical debt and resolve other stalled issues (e.g. memory leaks)
- Recruiting and onboarding new contributors to the Commons app, especially those who are signing up as mentees for the hackathon
- [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158994 | Commons App discussion: Current state and future plans ]]
We are currently discussing this on [[ https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues/353#issuecomment-282564478 | GitHub ]]. Please feel free to join the discussion, and also to join us during the hackathon. :)
