[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for XWiki 5.3

Hi devs, Here's some proposal based on discussions with various committers (those from XWiki SAS) and based on our past roadmap leftovers: Content ======= * We need to ensure the SOLR Search is working perfectly well so that it can replace our Lucene search. We've recently found a big limitation (http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9508) which prevents it from being used in the same way the Lucene search was used before. In addition there are some improvements to make to it (the list of jira issues need to be reviewed). I've discussed with Marius and he's ok to work on this for 5.3. * Continue working on the workspaces integration by default in XWiki Enterprise - Guillaume Delhumeau - integrate creation of "farm mode wiki" (i.e. local users allowed) - internal refactoring to move all wiki-related code to new xwiki-platform-wiki modules - and more… * Finish scalable import/export (and make it the default) - Thomas Mortagne * Implement Confluence import using wikistream - Thomas Mortagne * Improvements on EM/DW - Thomas Mortagne and Marius as time permits (secondary priority compared to SOLR search and import/export+confluence import) * Security: Continue work started by Thomas Delafosse on Script signing - Denis Gervalle * If time permits: AWM improvements (export and publish of applications + others) - Marius Here are also some JIRA issues that were raised as important (in this order of importance): * XWIKI-9117: When upgrading a wiki, do not display what happened (files edited, etc.) in the Activity Stream * XWIKI-9046: Improve document save performance by not loading the full history * XWIKI-6700: Copying a page over an existing one does not warn user * XWIKI-7377: AWM Add the ability to publish an application as an extension * XWIKI-5146: Support LiveTable text filtering on DBListclass columns * XWIKI-9156: The Wiki UIExtensions should check the rights before executing extension points * XWIKI-8763: Improve AWM for it to deal with error messages directly in the edit mode * XWIKI-9227: Extend the link creation feature for XEM * XWIKI-8757: Support 2 roles for users for app within minutes: application creator and data creator * XWIKI-9233: Cannot save a wiki page containing a link towards a page with a full name >255 For committers for whom I've suggested a name next to items above, is it ok for you to work on this in 5.3? Please make sure you create ASAP the full list of JIRAs that you're committing to work on for XWiki 5.3 and that you put them on the roadmap page at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Roadmaps/WebHome For committers not listed, anything special you wish to work on for 5.3? Dates ===== 5.3M1: 21st of October (2-3 weeks depending on when we release 5.2 final) 5.3M2: 4th of November (2 weeks) 5.3RC1: 18th of November (2 weeks) 5.3Final: 25th of December (1 week) This allows to keep the November period for 5.3 final as planned initially so that we can have 5.4 in December and 5.5 in January. WDYT? Thanks everyone! -Vincent
