One should be able to sort the additives either by:

• their order in the ingredients list
• their alphanumerical order
• their dangerousness.

The default should probably the former, since most ingredients are sorted by percentage within the end product.

The Wording would be more effective with

"View 27 matching products from the entire world"

What

• Going forward, It would be good to register ambassadors automatically.
• One way to do it would be a unique URL, that an ambassador can send to the potential new contributors.
• When a user creates an account from that URL, the ambassador will be linked with the new contributor

On the Products search page, the "scatter plot" functionality generate a "bar plot" when using items that are not numerical data, therefore imply a "count" of the return product(s).

Here is a user story: "A user search for categories containing beer, with Alcohol in Horizontal axis and number of product in vertical axis"
The results is a bar plot

Since December 13th 2014, ingredients lists now have allergens in bold/italic/underline.
In Open Food Facts, we can create a special syntax to surround allergens with underscores.

e.g. protéines de lait, farine de froment (gluten)
(github transforms underscored words to italic)

Phases:

1. Accept the enhanced syntax, display allergens in bold.
2. Add allergerns from the ingredient list as "allegerns" tags (similar to the current "traces")
3. Create a taxonomy for allergens / traces.
4. Autodetection of allergens in ingredients lists that do not use the new syntax?

Possible extensions:

A. * for organic ingredients, ** for fair trade ingredients, *** for organic + fair trade ingredients

Tacite:
When I write "德国" (Germany) in "Countries where sold" on OFF China, it converts to "奥兰群岛" (Åland Islands), but if I write "Germany" it convert to "德国". Weird

In some cases, Product Opener will default to Åland Islands if the recognition is ineffective.

The javascript doesn't like when people use a greater than or lesser than sign '>' '<' in the sodium or salt field.

A solution would be to strip the sign before doing the computing and prepending it to the results

That feature would provide an way to sort products by their creation date, by their historical apearance on the database.

Similar feature would be last modification date.

Many languages have a different layout or outdated text, or even miss the Products being added link.
We should bring them on par with the en.OFF and fr.OFF websites.

What

• It is not possible to use any of the "criteria" in the horizontal or vertical axis when creating a scatter plot.
• It is likely that most of the "criteria" will involve a sum of products, hence create a bar plot as in #23.
• In my opinion it would be better to have more graphing capability even if it is not well labelled.

What

• Currently only the "EMB code" is used in the process of generating maps.
• It would be beneficial to be able to use all 5 location aware field:

Origin of ingredients
Manufacturing or processing places
EMB code
City, state and country where purchased
Countries where sold

• Some of the information above is highly accurate and should get a highly accurate output:

EMB code
City, state and country where purchased

• Some information is likely to be less accurate, and should be grouped in a country wide counts:

Origin of ingredients
Manufacturing or processing places
Countries where sold

Hello, as described here: openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-cordova-app#1
it would really usefull to have access to the website via https. Wainting to have "valid" certificate", you could use a self-signed certificate for free. It does not authentificate the website but at least the traffic is encrypted.

iptables -A INPUT -s 207.46.13.70/24 -j DROP

Works fine for FR and EN, but not for NL for instance.

What

• I found multiple criteria to be missing from the drop down.

Current list:

brands
categories
packaging
labels
origins of ingredients
packager codes
purchase places
stores
additives
allergens
traces
states

Expected list (using underscore for the missing one)

brands
_product name_
_Common name_
categories
packaging
labels
origins of ingredients
_Manufacturing or processing places_
packager codes
purchase places
stores
_Countries where sold_
additives
allergens
traces
states

Other field that would benefit from being in the list but add complexity:

Quantity
Best before date
picture
Link to the product page on the official site of the producer

That way, we'd be able to import existing translations into Launchpad to avoid loss of translation work, and in turn, distribute translation work using Launchpad or any Gettext compatible system

What

Make it easy to merge products when moving a product to another project (eg Open Beauty Facts), that you have new data, but the product already exists on Open Beauty Facts

Code barre : 2727846181615
Merci de corriger les erreurs suivantes :
Un produit existe déjà avec le nouveau code

OpenFoodFacts should make it easy to merge items.

In order to have people use the OpenFoodFacts image accordingly, we need to provide a guide.
That guide would be a reference for both internal and external use

In order to prove that the data hasn't been tempered with, the dumps available on the data page should have their associated fingerprint.
This will allow user to ensure that the data they downloaded are the same as the one we publish.

Some user report being presented with a upload dialog box when clicking on different part of the website.
I personally get one when clicking on the numbers available on the points page http://world.openfoodfacts.org/points

Previous discussion talked about " the <input id="imgupload_search" ..> is in a huge 1760x408 box when javascript is disabled".
Also "weird css rules [being] applied"

border-width: 0px 0px 100px 200px;
opacity: 0;
transform: translate(-300px, 0px) scale(4);
.fileinput-button {
 position: relative;
 overflow: hidden;
}
.fileinput-button input {
 position: absolute;
 top: 0;
 right: 0;
 margin: 0;
 border: solid transparent;
 border-width: 0 0 100px 200px;
 opacity: 0;
 filter: alpha(opacity=0);
 -moz-transform: translate(-300px, 0) scale(4);
 direction: ltr;
 cursor: pointer;
} 

And finally the version of "https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload" being old.

It's probably related to the fact that the label is prefixed with Fr:

It would be beneficial to be able to graph and map contribution by user from the product search page.

So far one can only search by contributor, fromt the home page link.
Here is an example of how a search can be done from this link

It has the following shortcomings:

• It doesn't produce graphs.
• It doesn't produce maps.
• It doesn't produce CSV.
• One user looking for contributor, will only find the contributor after she choose a country (world. pl. uk. etc.).
• Choosing a country implies a language, since languages selections are done against a country.
• One can choose a maximum of 2 criteria in the follwoing set "countries, brands, categories, labels, packaging, origins of ingredients, manufacturing or processing places, packager codes, ingredients, additives, allergens, traces, contributors, states".

Even on specific domains (eg fr.off.org), the statistics will show up for a random language. On world.off.org, it will spit out an error.

it would be beneficial to be able to sort product s by their nutrition rating if they have one

When searching with chineese character, the result include all product.
This is a search exemple http://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/search.pl?search_terms=%E6%97%BA%E4%BB%94%E7%89%9B%E5%A5%B6&search_simple=1

So far one can sort the results by the following

Popularity
Product name
Add date
Edit date

Here is a user story: "A user want to find all the items purchased in belgium that are not completed"
It would be beneficial to be able to sort items by the level of completeness.

What

• Starting with France, we need to integrate producer info to enrich our understanding of Packaging Code, starting with France (https://github.com/openfoodfacts/eu-food-data/tree/master/fr)

We also want to include Semantic markup:

Depending on the version of the website, some color coding can be encountered.
The goal of this feature request is to allow better transparency on the source for the color coding and better control over what source a user want to choose.

Color coding is there as a visual clue on possible adverse effect an additive is regarded to have.
Some additives are even banned in some countries, either by food regulators or by religious authorities.
Other studies might cast a doubt on wether an additive should be regarded as 'bad' or not.

The best way to deal with such cases would be to have a preset per country.
That would serve as a base for user not logged.
User would then be able to add their own color scheme.

OFF should show some random uncomplete product on "Edit Successful page" to foster more contributions.

Looks like a cookie setting problem or something, but I constantly have to log back into OFF

Step to reproduce:

• add a product is with a bar code.
• add image added.
• change bar code
  Images are now gone.

Here is an example: http://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/61941755/danette-chocolat-delice

When label are wrong, we keep the data from the label.
We should tag those product "error on label" (as opposed to error by the person that typed the product in).

Checkbot should not repport those as a problem, hence skip the product with "error on label"

Use http://schema.org/DietarySupplement for products within the Dietary Supplement category

What

• I'm not sure what is the best way going forward.
• What I'm sure is that the following items do not belong in the "Nutriments" dropdown

Fruits, vegetables and nuts (minimum)
Collagen/Meat protein ratio (maximum)
Carbon footprint / CO2 emissions
Experimental nutrition score
Nutrition score - UK

Let's discuss how to make the above item part of the graphing experience where one can find them

Product pages footers state :
"Product added on 02/05/15 00:25 by bcatelin"

We could add more information, like :
"Product added on 02/05/15 00:25 by bcatelin, modified by X, Y, and Z on (last edit date)"

OFF should show some random uncomplete product on "Login Successful page" to foster more contributions

http://trackingjs.com/examples/brief.html

This is one example:

We can see that the latin character version of the countrie's name provde a link to a list relevant list, while the non-lation doesn't.
The "Origin of ingredients", "Manufacturing or processing places" and "Countries where sold" links works for "Iraq" but doesn't for "العراق".

We should have page for packager codes even if we don't have any products yet for them. That way people will discover the page when they're looking for it, have minimal info, and get the opportunity to add the product to the base.

We should have a text saying "Oooh :-( No product yet. Download the app and add your product."

What

• It is confusing to use "production place" instead of "EMB code".
• "production place" will likely be confused with "Manufacturing or processing places".

When looking at the list of Criteria available in the products search it is not clear how they relate to the one in the product pages.

Here are the terms that diverge, with the one from the product saerch and their equivalent when you edit a product:

labels => Labels, certifications, awards
packager codes => EMB code
purchase places => City, state and country where purchased

I would like those terms to be the same for clarity's sake.
I don't mind which words are choosen as long as they are the same everywhere.
This should also reflect in translation work and make it easier (less strings to trans;ate).

Looking at the date for when this product was added is misleading at best (12/14/14) http://uk.openfoodfacts.org/product/00939928
