- Naming
- the project's name is "openZIM" which means we provide an open source implementation of the "Zeno IMproved" file format
- Decision: the file format will be renamed to "ZIM" to distinguish between the Zeno file format from Directmedia
- Indexing and Searching
- several possibilities can be implemented:
- internal search index
- external search index
- using an external library such as Zeno, Sphinx, Xapian...
- Decision: will be postponed until next developers meeting which will focus on that
- Encoding
- article texts in UTF-8
- URLs in UTF-8
- latin1 auto detection will be kept for backwards compatibility
