Hi devs,
Due to some critical bugs and missing features, the release was
postponed for a long period.
Still the development process is way ahead of what was intended for
XWord 1.0
This is how the old roadmap looked like:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/MicrosoftOfficeAddin#HFirstversi…
As you can see XWord 1.0 was intended to be an export to wiki tool and
only XWord 1.1 should enable editing wiki pages.
Sorry for not keeping you up to date on the mailing list.
This is the new roadmap for XWord:
- 1.0 M1
What is the release date planned for 1.0M1?
- Wiki Explorer - done
- Attachment Upload - done
- Attachment Download - done
- Export word documents - done
- Edit/Save wiki pages - done
- Save pages with user specified syntax - done
- Protect essential pages from editing - done
What is this?
- Export using filtered html - done
Isn't this already done by the Office importer HTML cleaner? We'd need
to find ways so that you can reuse this to prevent code duplication
(and it's a complex domain).
- Export with non-filtered html - buggy
- Deployment and infrastructure - problematic because it uses
ClickOnce.
- 1.0 M2 - 2-3 weeks from M1
- Solve as many reported bugs
- Improve html filters
- Introduce the XML-RPC communication mode
What is this? Any advantage of using XMLRPC vs REST? (I don't have a
preference but since we have both I'm wondering).
- Basic macro support(prevent the user from editing
macro generated
html)
It looks like you'd be recoding what is currently existing in the
wysiwyg editor. While this is nice to have it in word, I'm wondering
what it's going to cost to maintain the 2 features.
- 1.0 RC1 - 1-2 weeks from M2
- Bug fixing
- Stable and ergonomic UI
- Remove the sever package and rely only on XML-RPC
What is the "server package"?
- 1.0 Final - 1-2
- Rock solid UI
- Production quality html output and wiki syntax conversion.
If you succeed in using the server side version of html/wiki syntax
conversion tools then you'll get rock solid stuff with no maintenance
need on your side.
WDYT?
Thanks
