Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for 4.0

Hi devs, It's time to prepare the roadmap for 4.0. I know we haven't defined the Theme for 4.x yet but we've started the user survey at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures2012 and we need to wait a bit to get some relevant feedback. I'll get a summary of what we have so far in a few days. After having brainstormed with some of you here's what I have found so far below for 4.0 (Caleb, Denis, I haven't put your items below since I wasn't sure what you'd like to work on so please free to add them yourself in reply). If you have your name mentioned below please confirm that you can do it for 4.0 in the defined time frame. If you wish to do some other stuff please add them in reply. After a  few days I'll move this on xwiki.org as our official roadmap for 4.0. Dates ===== - 4.0M1: 12 March 2012 - 4.0M2: 26 March 2012 - 4.0RC1: 9 April 2012 - 4.0 Final: 16 April 2012 Items ===== * App Within Minutes improvements - Assignee: Marius - Marius can you list specific items in some priority order? * Extension Manager improvements - Assignee: Thomas and Marius (UI) - Thomas can you list specific items in some priority order too? - One that I know of is improved XAR merging and a nice UI for it - One nice goal to have for 4.0 and 4.1 (I think we need 2 releases) is: "Be able to upgrade a XWiki Farm in 5 minutes". This is without the WAR upgrade, only the XAR part. This means upgrading the default XE and any installed extensions, for XE and for a farm. * Hidding Technical Content (especially on Home Page) - Assignee: Jean-Vincent and Vincent - My idea is to implement http://markmail.org/thread/jupn22fdk4nnqj6p but we need to brainstorm with JV and we'll send a proposal on the list soon about it * Getting Started Guide on XE/XEM Home page - Assignee: Jean-Vincent - JV to make a proposal to the list
