Hi devs,
I just realized that there was no official roadmap proposal for XE 2.5
yet, since Vincent, the usual release manager, is on holidays. I
volunteered for performing the releases, so I'll assume the release
manager role as well until Vincent returns.
Yes, good initiative, thanks.
Proposed features for the 2.5 release:
- Improved wiki dashboard
Which improvements do you have in mind (maybe there's a proposal somewhere)?
Replace the current Recent Changes based on a silly search with an
ActivityStream implementation:

Refine the use of avatars:

-
Improved edit modes UI
- Office Preview
- Action menu improvements (Caty, JV, Sergiu)
- Export UI improvements (Caty, Sergiu)
- "Email this page" feature (Sergiu)
- User Directory
Sounds good. There was also "Export a page in .odt / .doc / .docx using
OpenOffice" (ThomasM.)
Generic stuff:
- More UI standards (avatars, icons, forms)
- Improved performance
- Improved security
- WYSIWYG bugfixing and optimization
- More 2.0 macros
Possible new features:
- Portlet integration (Marius)
- Layout Themes (Sergiu)
What exactly would this one be?
Similar to ColorThemes, they provide the ability to define, for some
standard parts of the UI, in which conditions each one should be visible
(and maybe where). For example: Display the docextra zone only for
logged in users, always hide the CreatedBy area.
- Gadgets
(Anca)
- Wiki Import (Thomas)
Proposed dates:
- 2.5M1: 30 Aug
- 2.5M2: 27 Sep
- 2.5RC1: 11 Oct
- 2.5RC2/Final: 25 Oct
Do we already have stuff ready to go in M1?
Yes, despite the fact that most developers were on holidays this month,
we have stuff ready.
