[xwiki-devs] [proposal] tracking status of major features in the current version in development

Hi, I took the liberty to update a bit the roadmap page http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Roadmap to add links to the Design page or the JIRA page when they existed. I also added the Investigations with links in the page. I would like to propose that we increase a bit the visibility on the development of the features. What I would like to suggest is that: All major feature in development or investigations gets a "Design" page and these pages are linked from the Roadmap page. The Design page should include at least: - the use cases that are being implemented - a link to the JIRA issue if it exists. - a link to the UI design proposal. I would also like to suggest that the UI design proposal are moved from myxwiki.org to xwiki.org either on their own wiki or on the dev wiki. - a design document which explains the objetives and implementation strategy (this should be reviewed by the community through the mailing list) - and most importantly an action plan with priorities and status on each element of the action plan (it can list the use cases that are first being implemented or other actions necessary to implement) - the action plan should be updated after each Milestone release. - we should also update the Roadmap page when we know a feature is at risk of not making the final release. We already have a lot of that sometimes a bit disorganized. The objective and design is often in a mail thread. It would be better if the last status is on the Wiki. But more importantly what is more missing is the implementation strategy, the action plan with the priorities and the current status. In order to help out prioritizing development based on what we feel the users more need we need the splitting of priorities and the status. This is particularly important for large features that have a big impact and a lot of potential user interactions (extension manager, dashboards, workspaces) Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost
