[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for XE 1.8

Time for the new roadmap definition. Here's a proposal. Note that I've discussed the points below with all people I've put as leads. Of course if anyone from the community/committers want to implement additional stuff you're most welcome :) * Finish new rendering: Continue Macro rewrite: rss, graph and more. - Lead: Dan Miron * Finish new rendering: Add embedded doc support + converter from 1.0 syntax to 2.0 + various leftovers - Lead: Thomas Mortagne * Office Importer (all types: word, excel, powerpoint, etc). Available from the WYSIWYG editor too. - Lead: Asiri * Working JCR/Query Manager - Lead: Artem * Finish WYSIWYG editor (UI + bug fixes + missing features). - Lead: Marius/Anca * MS Office Plugin - Lead: Florin. * Start design work on new Application Manager (ability to package in a XAR: pages, external libraries, skin extensions, resources, macros, components, etc + ability to list/install/remove/upgrade applications + ability to install from a remote repo) - Lead: Thomas Mortagne/Jean- Vincent * Work on usability/navigation/UI improvements (like redesign special pages: WebHome, AllDocs, Tags, etc, improve navigation with a treeview panel, autosuggest in search box, etc). We need to define 3-4 items we want in priority. Lead: Jean-Vincent with Laurent/Guillaume * Invitation: backporting the invitation work done in XWS to XE. Lead: Jerome * French XE (was supposed to be done for 1.7) - Lead: Jean-Vincent with Thomas Eveilleau's help * MediaWiki import - Lead: Vincent with Asiri * Drag and drop spaces/pages in the AllDocs treeview to reorganize pages and spaces - Lead: Marius/Anca * Revamp the xwiki.org web site to focus on XE only (for ex main page should only list XE with aggregated feature list) so that we show that we have only one product but various add-ons. Lead: Vincent (note: I need to make a proposal for this) * Skin extensions/Interface extension finalization + Template/Skin cleanup. Lead: Sergiu + Jerome * Internal refactoring to redesign interfaces and transform them into components (Model, Actions, URLs, Velocity Bridge, etc). Lead: Vincent Let me know what you think and if ok I'll put it up on http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Roadmap If we can do all this XE 1.8 will be a great release, possibly our greatest :) Thanks -Vincent
