Hi,
We're a bit late on the planning/roadmap so here's a first try.
* 1.6M1: 18 Aug
* 1.6M2: 8 Sep
* 1.6RC1: 15 sep
* 1.6RC2 or 1.6 final: 22 sep
Tentative Roadmap for XE 1.6:
Must have:
========
* Beta versions of new rendering + new WYSIWYG editor (Vincent & Marius)
* One of the following two:
** Revamped Blog UI + features (who?)
** Easy creating of structured pages (JV)
* Security issues already in JIRA (marked as high priority)
+ bug fixes or course
Good to have
==========
* Office import maybe but I think that should be optional depending on
how fast it progresses. It could be released as a separate plugin for
sure.
* Single sign on w/ openID
* French XE
* Send forgotten password
* Improved RSS feeds
* Excel plugin
* Installation wizard
* Skin extension/Interface extension finalization
* CSS + templates cleanup/simplification
* Invitation manager in XE
My personal take is that the core development team should really focus
on the "Must Have" and continue consolidating what we have by working
on make it more stable, nicer looking and more usable, rather than
working on new features. Of course we have all those nice SOC projects
(office import, sso) that we should release/integrate if they are
ready at the end of the milestone 2 of XE 1.6.
WDYT?
Thanks
