Hi there,
Here's the roadmap I propose:
* Fix current issues
** Write Selenium tests for all current features (JV).
** Provide a Range/Selection implementation for IE. (fixes XWIKI-2737,
XWIKI-2738, XWIKI-2739). One option is to wrap this JavaScript code
http://jorgenhorstink.nl/2006/07/05/dom-range-implementation-in-ecmascript-…
. I have Jorgen's permision to use his code. This will save me from
implemeting it by myself (which is the second option). The third option
is to use the selection support from rocket-gwt library (
http://code.google.com/p/rocket-gwt/wiki/Selections ), which is limited
right now. I'm waiting for an answer regarding their roadmap. 24 man-hours
** Reimplement list support. (fixes XWIKI-2734). The default
implementation doesn't wrap nested lits in a list item element and fails
to detect the presence of a list when the cursor is on a list item with
a nested list inside (generated by the wiki editor). Indent/outdent for
nested lists have to be reimplemented also. 16 man-hours
** Improve history mechanism (fixes XWIKI-2731). I should restore the
previous selection on Undo/Redo. Right now, only the cursor position is
restored. 8 man-hours
** Reimplement the heading (using id's and possibly named anchors) and
improve the Format plugin (by adding Inline and Paragraph options
besides Title X). 8 man-hours
** Fix horizontal rule generation. (fixes XWIKI-2729) 2 man-hours
** Fix Insert Symbol features so it won't require any special encoding.
(fixes XWIKI-2669) Right now I have no idea on how fix this. 6 man-hours
** Use the same styling in edit mode as in view mode. (fixes
XWIKI-2721). I have to check what CSS rules from the Toucan style sheet
messes up the editor. 8 man-hours
** Fix cursor issues (navigation through empty DOM nodes using arrow
keys; avoid cursor hiding when the user clicks on an empty DOM element).
8 man-hours
-----
Total: 80 man-hours // 1.7M1
* Integrate (& revisit) implemented features
** Justify (left, center, right, full) 3 man-hours
** Font (family, size) 3 man-hours
** Color (background, foreground) 3 man-hours
* Implement new features
** Teletype text. I have to discuss this with Vincent because there are
two use cases. 16 man-hours.
** Definition lists. Currently there's no support at all. 22 man-hours
** Clear inline formatting. 2 man-hours
** Insert/Edit/Remove Link. I have to extend the built-in command
"createlink" for our custom wiki link. We have to implement one big
tabbed-dialog for insertion and the link inspector. We also need to
implement the remote services for retrieving wiki, space, page,
attachment names, as well as comments and history. 8+32 man-hours
** Insert/Edit Image. We have to implement the insert dialog and the
image inspector. We also need to implement the remote services for
uploading and retrieving images as/from attachments. 24 man-hours
** Insert/Edit Table. We have to implement the insert dialog and the
table inspector. 24 man-hours
** Insert/Edit Macro. We have to implement the insert dialog and the
macro inspector. 24 man-hours
-----
Total: 161 man-hours // 1.7RC1
* Pending features (in case we finish all the above)
** Full screen editing. I have to investigate this more, so I'm not sure
about the effort. 24 man-hours
** Paste/Import Office document fragments. Requires catching the paste
event and some on-server clean-up. We may also need an insert dialog. 16
man-hours, provided the server part is already done.
** Find & Replace. 24 man-hours
-----
Total: 64 man-hours
As you can see there are plenty of things to do. We have to finish them
before Javapolis.
Pretty ambitious time estimates... Looks to me you don't expect many
problems on the way, I'd rather double some of those values. Anyway,
this looks good, good luck!
And Happy Birthday, Marius!
