Hi

I updated the documentation and make the pre-listed meta information as mandatory:
http://openzim.org/index.php?title=Metadata&diff=prev&oldid=1296

I tested in that way the Mediawiki:Collection extension, the problems are:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28953
* No description
* Favicon is always the same

kiwix Perl script is already updated and each new ZIM will provide this meta informations.

Emmanuel

Hi Emmanuel,

So far as I remember when we have defined the metadata we also defined
that these attributes we have defined are also mandatory, while
additional metadata (ideally also defined by dublin core) may be used.

Betreff: [openZIM dev-l] Make Metadatas mandatory?
Datum: Do., Jun. 16, 2011 12:38

 Hi

 With the multiplication of ZIM files and ZIM editors we need ways to
 build overviews.
 Without the metadatas they are not easy way to build these overviews
 (You have to do it by hand every time).
 This is waht I learned by coding the content manager of Kiwix which
 works now.

 So I think, having ZIM files with metadatas is essential, maybe even
 more.
 I think we have to push the usage of these metadatas (title,
 description, creation date, creator, favicon, language) and I see 3
 approaches:

 (1) Make these informations mandatory
 (2) Make a recommendation but nothing blocking
 (3) Do nothing and be optimistic

 What would be your preferred approach?

 Regards
 Emmanuel
