We've created JIRA issues : http://tinyurl.com/6hsaqg
I don't think so, at least not the final UI. What we'll have for sure
before year end is a lot of bugfixes.
It would be possible to stagger UI improvements shipments in january
but I'm not convinced by the idea. Minor version releases are supposed
to be bugfix releases, while I think it's ok to have one of those
releases (1.7.2) to include major WYSIWYG UI improvements I think it
would be overkill to multiply them.
I think one minor release per week with minor UI improvements would
discourage people upgrading their wiki.
Hi JV,
Yes.
We
I guess this means you've discussed this with Marius and Anca.
don't
think it's possible to have the UI implemented till the end
of december for the following reasons:
1) We must take into account that december is .. december, with its
days off so we should count 3 weeks and not 4.
2) Fixing bugs of the current features will keep the WYSIWYG team busy
for around 2 weeks.
Are you talking about known bugs or doing a guess of bugs that'll be
discovered? If it's known bugs then I think we should them in JIRA to
decide if we release or not and when since we shouldn't release a 1.7
final with known wysiwyg bugs unless they're minor.
You're right to say that waiting for 1.8 is
too long, we could do the
following :
- Release 1.7.1 around december 15th with WYSIWYG bugfixes, probably
some minor UI improvements (no use of an external widget toolkit).
Sounds good provided these are new bugs discovered after 1.7 final is
released or they are minor bugs.
- Prepare a WYSIWYG UI roadmap ending during
january end (just before
1.8M2), release XE 1.7.2 somewhere during the last week of january.
Can we stagger this? (this was my initial idea) By stagger I mean that
once a UI is done we release a point version. This is why I was
suggesting releasing some of the UI features in December. For example
wouldn't it be possible to have the link UI only done before year end? Also have you thought about the deadline for finishing
our discussion
on the various. I think we need to hurry up a bit more, closing open
discussions and starting new ones more quickly.
Yes, after we'll have agree on the current vote I'll come up with 4
major proposals (link,image,table,macro).
Thanks,
JV.
