The main task is to work on test coverage of Bookie. We’ll be using coverage.py to find areas missing tests and work on getting better coverage for them.

Tasks

We’ll be working on any of the Bookie part of apps. This includes breadability, bookie_parser, bookie_firefox, bookie_android. So if you want to hack on a Pyramid app, celery processing, parsing algorigthms, Tornado apps on Heroku, or CoffeeScript we’ve got something you can work on.

Specific task ideas include:

  • Introduction to bookie and working on small bugs from the issue list.
  • Update Bookie’s readable parsing to be Celery driven to the bookie_parser service api.
  • Work on Bookie’s mobile/responsive UI and a possible two pane reader layout.
  • Update Bookie’s celery backend and port more current cron scripts over to Celery tasks.
  • Working on fixing the breadability parser for web sites it’s failing to parse
  • Update breadability to provide metadata on processing including potential backup nodes of content, timing information, etc.
  • Update the bookie_parser application to have some better webui.
  • Add full metadata fetching of content from bookie_parser.
  • Work on turning Bookie’s Firefox extension into a CoffeeScript application that works against the bookie API.
