Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] [Proposal] XWiki Enterprise 2.0 Roadmap

Hi XWikiers, thanks for the feedback :-) Here's the updated tasklist (I've probably added too much stuff, we might need to remove some parts in the course of the roadmap): *Tasks with people already planned to work on:* - Rendering (Thomas) - Fix bugs - Make sure the XWiki 2.0 syntax doesn't move any more once XE 2.0 is out - Documentation - If possible: i18n - If possible: externalize the rendering module - WYSIWYG editor (Marius, Anca) - Fix bugs - Implement search in the link insertion dialog box - Improve the macro insertion dialog box - - i18n - Documentation (User/Admin/Dev Guide) - Implement categories/libraries for Macros - I'm not sure we want to make the WYSIWYG work in Safari & Opera by ourselves. Based on customer & user feedback we might need to focus on making it work in IE8 first. - If possible: externalize the WYSIWYG editor -> that would make it easier for people from outside the XWiki community to add support for Safari, Chrome & Opera - CAPTCHA integration (Jérôme) - Clustering (Thomas) - Write a clustering component based on XWiki events - Overhaul of the notifications system in XWiki (JV) - Activity Stream integration - Watchlist (JV) - Rewrite the watchlist feature based on the activity stream - Make the watchlist work in XEM - Macros (Asiri) - Write the velocity macro bridge - Write a number of velocity macros - UI Improvements (Caty) - Blog - User Profile - Improve XWiki's default skin (Laurent) - If possible: make sure the skin works fine in IE8 - Architectural Improvements (Vincent) - Migrate all XWiki Enterprise pages to use the XWiki 2.0 syntax (Collective effort) *Tasks with nobody planned to work on as of today:* - Rewrite XWiki's Lucene Search backend (Sergiu?) *Tasks that will have to be postponed to the next release cycle:* - Application Manager - Document Type Manager - Invitation Manager *Ideas to keep in mind for later:* - Mobile skin - Embedded SMTP server to handle email-to-wiki-page conversions / imports - Some kind of workflow thing -> actually as Vincent pointed it out above I'm not sure we'll ever build a full-fledged workflow application in XWiki but there are 2 things that can be done: - Integrate XWiki with an external workflow engine such as Bonita - Make it possible to define a set of global rules for queries at the wiki level (something similar to what we're going to do to support hidden docs, having 2 APIs depending on whether we want to display technical documents or not) but more discussion is needed on that topic and to be honest I don't fully grasp it yet :-) The current roadmap dates are the following: - XE 2.0 M1: June 22 - XE 2.0 M2: July 13 - XE 2.0 M3: August 3 - XE 2.0 RC: August 17 - XE 2.0: August 31 Keep the feedback coming ;-) Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype: wikibc Twitter: glerouge http://guillaumelerouge.com/
