Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki 5.x cycle theme

Hi everyone, We're getting close to the end of the 4.x cycle (only one more release, 4.5, which should be out at the end of January) and thus we need to start thinking about 5.x (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/VersioningAndReleasePractices ) As a reminder here are our past themes: * 3.x: Theme 1: "Building Apps and Distributing them" (This means for example that the Extension Manager in progress is a key element of XE 3.x. It also means making it easier to create applications in XE.), Theme 2: "Polishing" * 4.x: Theme 1 (top priority): Ease of use, Theme 2: Quality Internally at XWiki SAS we've had a brainstorming meeting with everyone to discuss what could be the main themes for XWiki 5.x The result is the following: Theme: Speed and Simplicity ----------------------------------------- Mission: Improve XWiki's usage for new and regular users by improving Usability and Usage Speed in order to make XWiki simpler and faster both from a pure performance point of view and from are user interface point of view. Technical details: - Individual Feature Improvement from a Usability perspective including speed of access (real time updates, commenting in activity stream) - General Usability Improvements on XE and XEM for simplicity - Technical Rewrite of certain features (activity stream) for performance or architecture reasons - General Performance Improvement of XWiki (page loading, rendering time) - Bug Fixing in general WDYT?
