[xwiki-dev] General goals for the 1.1 release

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi,

Here are a few things I'd like to see in the 1.1 release (or future ones 
depending on the planning).
I'm focusing mainly on new features based on user/customer feedback. I'm 
of course supportive of bug fixing, maven build, default wiki 
improvements and XWiki 2.0 architecture.

- WebDAV support (XWiki as a simple WEBDAV server)
- Vastly improved difference display
- URL handling improvements allowing incoming and outcomming URL mappings
- QueryPlugin becoming the default
- Usage Statistics UI
- Improved rights and user/groups manager
- Invitation support
- Email notifications
- Watch feature
- Skin customizations (colors/fonts)
- More default macros
- AutoSave/Draft support in the Editor
- Threaded comments

And of course incorporating of the Summer of Code projects (but that 
might not be in 1.1)
