[xwiki-dev] General goals for the 1.1 release

[Sergiu Dumitriu]

Hi,

I agree with 1, 2 and 4. I think that the most important things for users
are 1 and 2, with strong emphasis on fixing the security holes, and making
the skin+wiki the best on the market. For developers and administrators, 4
is important too.

I'm not so sure about 3. It depends on the elements, and how stable is the
architecture. I don't see the point of committing the component based
engine, if we don't have any components defined.

On the other hand, 4 months after 1.0 should be after the SoC deadline, so
we could introduce some new features deployed in the program, if they are
well written and stable enough.
