[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for XWiki 6.2

Hi devs, After brainstorming offline with several XWiki committers (devs from XWiki SAS mostly) here’s a proposal for the 6.2 roadmap: Content ======= * Guillaume with help from Caty: Make Flamingo production-ready and the default skin in XE. Specifically this means; - Finish the AppBar implementation (with proper icons) - Polishing everywhere - Ensure it works fine on mobile devices - Finish Theme Editor - Investigation about UI standards (theme variables , css classes, html/macros, js) (some thoughts there: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/UIStandards) * Thomas: Continue on improving page loading times and performances in general as much as possible in the time frame. * Marius: Finish File Manager + javascript framework evaluation/proposal (propose angularJS with LT in angular + treeview, etc) * Denis: Are you going to work on finishing signed scripts? * Edy: Investigate Activity Stream v2. Goal: take the occasion of the rewrite to - Make it performant - Catch up and leap over the competition in term of features/usability ;) - Need find all use cases and gather feedback from everyone * Edy: Implement as many JIRA issues as possible from the list below, starting with the top one and going down: - Support 2 roles for users for app within minutes: application creator and data creator XWIKI-8757 - Extension Manager add extension search should suggest only compatible versions XWIKI-9920 - New widget that extends the Suggest widget with the option to pick multiple values XWIKI-8097 - Welcome block is not easily editable XE-1389 - Watchlist activity shouldn't add a version to the page XWIKI-10332 - Wrong rendering of annotations for documents with sheets XWIKI-6328 - Delete user removal from groups is not scalable and is a potential security issue (for me the feature should be at least deactivatable) XWIKI-9641 - Importing documents with Office Importer will always generate pages in syntax 2.0 XWIKI-9074 - Unpublished blog posts are displayed in the Activity Stream XWIKI-10425 - "Current wiki" wiki macros not available in the macros list in wysiwyg in path based multiwiki XWIKI-7739 - Add the possibility in AppWithinMinutes livetables settings to select a default sort on a column XWIKI-9659 - Add a reload button for changing the CAPTCHA message at registration XWIKI-9879 - Show date and time of the install and user who installed for an installed extension XWIKI-10027 - User Directory should be configurable globally XWIKI-9170 - Creating wiki page containing / character XE-688 - The default value of a date field should be empty or today, not the date when the class has been created XWIKI-10296 - The links to pages from the ToC of the watchlist notification message don't work on Outlook XWIKI-10500 - Hard to understand which is the default value for Profile's Preferences entries (edit/view mode) XWIKI-7715 - Add an explanation next to the fields in user profile XWIKI-6307 - Add an event in the Activity Stream for when a subwiki is created or deleted XWIKI-10280 - Allow to force the installation of an extension even if dependencies are not satisfied XWIKI-9827 - Access all page information in one rest request XWIKI-9135 - Allow to "send page by email" to a group (sold to AFCEN client) XE-1403 - Allow a default space to be specified for a template provider, which will automatically create the document in that space XWIKI-8759 - Renaming a page changes the creation date XWIKI-9425 - xwiki.cfg & xwiki.properties merging XWIKI-9831 - Empty groups can still have hidden rights applied, but not displayed in the UI XWIKI-9681 - Jump to a page using Ctrl+G doesn't work XWIKI-9787 - Top Active Contributors has empty values when the current user is local XWIKI-9991 - The default value of a date field should be empty or today, not the date when the class has been created XE-1388 - The User Directory does not display html for TextArea properties XWIKI-10149 - Page Blog.CategorySheet missing translation keys XWIKI-6540 - The "Username" and "Password" input fields don't have the same size XWIKI-10192 - Cannot restore document translations from recycle bin XWIKI-9567 Note that others can also help Edy on this :) * Caty: Usability recording analysis and conclusions (Caty made some interviews with newcomers to XWiki with some scenarios to see what we should improve) + new icon set (vectorial) investigation (needed for AppBar) + UI standards (see above) + maybe help Edy (time permitting) on the AS investigation * Lyes: Implement sending of mail invitations in Meeting Manager using the new Mail Sender API + Publish the Hierarchy Macro he’s been working on + work on Collaborative Apps Dates ===== (Taking into account the XWiki SAS seminar in July) - 6.2M1: 4th Aug - 6.2M2: 18th Aug - 6.2RC1: 1 sep - 6.2Final: 15 sep Please add the stuff you wish to work on if you’re not in the list above and with to commit to working on something for the 6.2 release! :) WDYT?
