[xwiki-users] Roadmap for XE 1.4

[Sylvain Desbureaux]

I don't kno wif this feature is working in 1.3 but one thing very
important in my opinion is the fact that several person may be able to
modify the same page, for example saving only the paragraph modified.
It's not working in the 1.2 and thus it's a shame because you can't
work in a medium sized page within a group.

> An index page lists all the email and allows filtering & searching them.
> A macro allows to quote a mail in a page (could be done with

> Here is some additional feedback I gathered :

>
> Migration
>
> Make the migration between 2 versions of XWiki even easier than it is now
> (some bugs remain, making upgrades a chore on many occasions).
> Applications
>
> Remove unfinished applications (such as the calendar & the photo album) from
> the default distribution and put them as XARs on XWiki.org instead
> Translations
>
> Replace all text in the default wiki with $msg.get() calls and update the
> translation file to include EN & FR translations for all of them.
> Administration
>
> Add a select box to the language selection field
> Add explanations next to each field to explain what they do
> Groups : add a button "Add a member to this group" on group pages (below the
> list of group members)
> Space Administration
>
> Add the ability to customize the color of a space easily in Toucan
> Add the possibility to use the Panel Wizard for a space
> Autosuggest
>
> Generalize the autosuggest feature to most input fields on the wiki
> I'll try to post some more once I've received it.
