[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for XWiki 6.3

Hi devs, XWiki 6.3 is the first of the 2 stabilization releases leading to the end of the 6.x cycle. As such it’s important to polish and fix bugs. It’s also going to be short so that we can finish 6.4 by the end of the year and start the new XWiki cycle (7.x) at beginning of next year. After brainstorming offline with several XWiki committers (devs from XWiki SAS mostly) here’s a proposal for the 6.3 roadmap.  Content ======= * Guillaume with help from Caty: Continue polishing Flamingo. Some specific items: - Ensure it works fine on mobile devices - Fix known bugs. Among them:   — Make Livetables responsive with screen size XWIKI-10727   - Make Tables responsive XWIKI-10736 - Polishing - Fix the xwiki-enterprise-test-webstandards build! * Thomas: Continue on improving page loading times and performances in general as much as possible in the time frame, with the goal of having better performances than we had in 5.4.5. * Marius: Finish File Manager + javascript framework evaluation/proposal (propose angularJS with LT in angular + treeview, etc) - Would also be good to fix the Tree view in AllDocs using the new jstree-based tree used for FM (and support drag and drop reorganization) * Edy: Implement the JIRAs from the list below: - Extension Manager add extension search should suggest only compatible versions XWIKI-9920  - Welcome block is not easily editable XE-1389  - Delete space should list all pages that are going to be deleted XWIKI-8320 - Clemens started this one. Clemens, do you want to finish it for 6.3? - Wrong rendering of annotations for documents with sheets XWIKI-6328  - The default value of a date field should be empty or today, not the date when the class has been created XWIKI-10296  - User Directory should be configurable globally XWIKI-9170  * Caty: Collaborative apps investigations and specific investigation on some Collaborative apps + help the work on polishing Flamingo and make it work on mobile devices. * Lyes: Work on the Repository Application/Extension Manager (with Thomas) to be able to surface the “best” extensions both inside XWiki’s EM UI and on e.x.o + work on Collaborative apps (especially on File Manager to take over from Marius) Anyone else wishing to commit to something for 6.3? Denis, signed scripts? ;) Dates ===== This is a short stabilization release (1 month roughly): - 6.3M1: 13 October (3 weeks) - 6.3M2: 27 October (2 weeks) - 6.3RC1: 3 November (1 week) - 6.3Final: 10 November (1 week) WDYT?
