[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 * LDAP Admin UI - Assignee: Jerome Velociter * Various Important JIRAs to fix: - Backend Stuff -- Page creation date should be the date of the installation - XWIKI-7058 -- Reduce the likelihood of having duplicate (hibernate) id for different documents and objects - XWIKI-6990 -- When using filesystem attachments with attachment versioning disabled, deleted attachments are duplicated on the hard disk. - XWIKI-6951 -- Deleted attachments duplication in recycle bin while File Storage is on - XWIKI-6917 -- Renaming a page should also rename the title of it - XWIKI-6743 -- Be able to rename a space from the UI - XWIKI-6722 -- Problems displaying the correct attachment version when using a proxy - XWIKI-6569 -- Performance of blog category panel is still not enough - XWIKI-6363 -- Change stylesheet and javascript extension filename when a modification is done on those - XWIKI-6073 -- Auto-create Space.WebHome when creating a page in an underfined space - XWIKI-5399 -- OpenOffice Issues on Windows (bug) Jira to be created - XWIKI-7510 -- OpenOffice automatic connection to external daemon - XWIKI-7509 - Frontend stuff -- Add more/all configuration parameters in the wiki administration - XWIKI-7066 -- Log-in automatically on registration - XWIKI-6892 -- Limit dragable width of textareas in FF4 and Chrome - XWIKI-6304 -- WebSearch should only display spaces with view right - XWIKI-6227 -- Auto-suggest doesn't work for global users - XWIKI-6207 -- Activity Stream doesn't show Image Profile change - XWIKI-5930 -- Cannot filter using "/" on a Date column in the livetable - XWIKI-5889 -- Better placement of the documentation link - XE-1031 -- New XWiki Syntax Guide - XE-880 -- Occasionally the livetable fails to load on index pages XE-844 -- Add option to 'show more entries' on displaying the Activity Stream XE-748 -- Timezone Setting by User - Jira to be created * Investigations: - Home Page Changes Proposals - Assignee: Caty and JV - Search Investigation (Improvements to current or SOLR) - Assignee: Need volunteer Thanks -Vincent
