Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki 7.0 and the 7.x cycle

Hi devs, This is exciting times as we’re starting a new cycle for XWiki: XWiki 7.x! :) Here are some proposals below that I have discussed with committers from XWiki SAS already. For all other committers (thinking about Denis, Sergiu, Clemens, Andreas or other), feel free to add other stuff you’d like to do in 7.0. Cycle Dates ============ I’d like to propose the following cycle dates: - 7.0: March (Feb-Mar ) - 7.1: May (Apr-May ) - 7.2: July (Jun-Jul) - 7.3: September (Aug-Sep) - 7.4: November (Oct-Nov ) This leaves us one month for adjustment, for the almost impossible possibility that we’d be late in one of these major releases :) XWiki 7.0 Dates =============== - 7.0M1: 9 Feb - 7.0M2: 2 march - 7.0RC1: 16 march - 7.0Final: 30 march Wiki 7.0 Content ================ - Improve upgrade tools - Improve DW - Dev: Marius - Continue performance improvements - Dev: Thomas - Flavor mechanism - Dev: Thomas - Notifications improvements (e.g. Immediate mail notif in watchlist + immediate notif in comment) - Dev: Edy - Full integration of new technologies (less, bootstrap) in XWiki so that they can be fully used for client projects - it can also be only documentation - Dev: Guillaume - Implement the “XWiki Core” strategy as defined in http://markmail.org/message/keo7cs6u3fuf676w - Dev: Vincent Some important JIRAs (several of them should be taken up when defining what to implement from the general list above): - Extension Manager add extension search should suggest only compatible versions - XWIKI-9920 - Sometimes rights changes don't apply without a server restart (confidential, FOR 6.4.x) - XWIKI-11355 - Add a simulation feature to the distribution wizard - XWIKI-11502 - Notify Wiki owners by email when users [request to] join their wiki - XWIKI-11096 - Support LESS in SSX objects - XWIKI-11394 - Presentation Office documents (.ppt files) aren't displayed with LibreOffice 4.3.5.2 - XWIKI-11611 - Know who has installed an extension and when - XWIKI-10027 - Add a reload button for changing the CAPTCHA message at registration - XWIKI-9879 - Do not display a very long title in the wiki's header - XWIKI-11234 - Remove the need for the "Finalize" button at the end of the process of wiki creation from template (FOR 6.4.x?) - XWIKI-11527 - Renaming a page changes the creation date - XWIKI-9425 - Exporting/Replaying the upgrade log - XWIKI-11504 XWIKI-11505 XWIKI-11074 Investigations: - Better WYSIWYG editor - CKEditor investigation (1 Week) - Marius - Better captcha module - Edy Let me know if there are any concerns.
