Which changes and fixes would you like?

Hello,

Kaihuri has received a new funding from NLNet, meaning that we can work on improving the software quality and develop (some) new functionalities.

There are hundreds of points which need attention and we have to make some choices. We’ll work for sure on :

  • UX improvements and bug fix
  • selective federation
  • interoperability and fediverse
  • new functionalities
  • security and accessibility

For more details, here is the project plan we’ve agreed on with NLNet.

We plan three sprints of about twelve days of development each. Issues require from a couple of hours to several days of work, and we assume that in average we can tackle a dozen issues during each sprint.

You’re most welcome to give feedback to help us prioritize and refine the backlog by replying to this post. You can also register to the git to put thumbs up and comment issues.
But to avoid duplicates, please read carefully the 354 open issues before creating a new one:)

We’ve got an on-going sprint where we’ve shortlisted (too?) many issues already. We’ve also started listing all the issue we’re considering working on during Mobilizon Empowering project (Mobilizon empowering candidates · Jalons · Kaihuri / Mobilizon · GitLab)

Please share feeback about what matters most to you, from to bug fixes and small enhancements to incredible features, to help us find the best path to a make Mobilizon a super great tool !

And if you make custom developments, please let us know thanks to a MR or any other way and we’ll consider adding them to a sprint.

Thanks for caring!

I really think Federation (e.g. via mastodon) of drafts and private events, as well as group-discussions (#1122) · Issues · Kaihuri / Mobilizon · GitLab should get some priority, since it makes the usage of private groups and events feel really insecure.

Fantastic !!! That’s wonderful news.

I’m still negociating with our Lyon office about my visit. I’ll let you know.

I must admit that the development prospects for Mobilizon are already very good, in addition to the fact that the system already works very well.

The only implementation I’d like to see your development team consider is to allow, possibly with the approval of the instance administrators or managers of the individual Mobilizon « organization account, » events published by other federated platforms that can manage the event object, such as Friendica or Bonfire, or WordPress (suitably equipped with the events-bridge plugin). It would also be interesting to even allow Mastodon users to compose appropriately formatted messages to create a Mobilizon event. But this is probably science fiction, especially given Mastodon’s format limitations.

I understand that this implementation may seem superfluous, but I want to point out that when Lemmy allowed any Mastodon user to start a new thread, Lemmy became a point of reference for the vast Mastodon community.

What about issues that were closed because there are too many open ones? I think almost all my issues are now closed because of that, regardless of whether it’s a feature request or a bug report.

Some Examples:

https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon/-/issues/750
https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon/-/issues/769
https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon/-/issues/1141
https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon/-/issues/1407
https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon/-/issues/673
https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon/-/issues/685
https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon/-/issues/1310

I think the #1 thing for me is the server crash which happens when someone shares a Mobilizon event on another federated platform, specifically Mastodon.

What do you mean? I often share my appointments and have never had that happen. Do you mean Boost or what kind of sharing?

From Mastodon (tooting.ch) I followed a group on mobilisons.ch: Tooting.ch [Swiss instance]

That way I see the events as they are posted by the bot.

Mastodon has a “boost” function which is the equivalent of repost or share on some other platforms. If I click boost on one of the events there in Mastodon, then the beam process on mobilisons.ch consumes all available memory and is killed by the OS. It recovers of course, but that takes a minute or two.

I see: Boosting an event on a federated platform results in Beam being killed by the OOM manager in the kernel (#1726) · Issues · Kaihuri / Mobilizon · GitLab

It’s so weird. We’re planning to work on federation with activitypub and maybe that will help understand this one.

I had a look and some have been closed in 2021 by a commit.

Do you think you could check if they are still occuring in the latest version and if yes, re-open them?

There are over 300 open issues, question is which ones to focus on. There are many important things, lots of good ideas (and as many bugs…).

Feedbacks here are good to give some directions, it’s a lot about federation and activitypub and we’ll definitely work on this key topic.

I’ve tested this on the latest version, and it still happens. I can try to find a better way to document it if that will help.

Bonjour et merci à toute l’équipe de développement pour son travail formidable !

Voici quelques amélioration que j’aimerai voir dans Mobilizon, par ordre d’importance :

  • Webapp avec url complète (sur smartphone, pour ajouter à l’écran d’accueil une url type mobilisons.fr/tag/XXX)

  • sur un evennement, pouvoir mettre plusieurs images et/ou PDF et pouvoir les afficher en diaporama, swipper gauche/droite si plusieurs images et zoomer pour lire du texte petit par exemple (idéalement que ça présente bien sur smartphone)

  • pouvoir récupérer un nom d’utilisateur ou de groupe

  • pouvoir désactiver les commentaires

Merci d’avance !

j’ajouterai aussi :

  • la récurrence d’événements (tous les mardis..)
  • pouvoir suivre un tag en mode TAG.mobilizon.fr par exemple

I have a few PRs and would very much like if they could be reviewed/merged:

Merci pour tes retours (et encouragements :wink:

Sur un événement, tu peux désactiver les commentaires (dernière option, tout en bas…) - mais ce n’est peut-être pas ta remarque?

Merci beaucoup pour tes corrections et merci de les avoir mises en avant.

Concernant “Instances” le site est en refonte, mais les deux premières sont mergées.
