Hi XWiki Devs & Users,
It's roadmap time again!
Based on the previous roadmap, feedback on the lists and the results of the
survey we conducted (see
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/Features+Survey+Results ), here's a
list of stuff we might want to work on in the XE 2.1 timeframe which will
last approximately until December 2009:
IMPROVEMENTS
On top of the usual bugfix work, here's a list of improvements we might want
to bring in the course of the release in order to stabilize the 2. branch as
much as we can:
- Colibri skin
- Clean the skin so that it's no longer a pile of code added on top of
Toucan
- Improve the ColorTheme page (theme catalog, theme creation)
- WYSIWYG editor
- Test and improve IE8 compatibility
- Test and improve Chrome / Safari compatibility
- Add more translations
- Rendering
- Internationalize
- Add translations
- Conversion to 2.0 syntax
- XAR 2.0 (notably Blog & Panels)
- Office importer
- The application shouldn't be displayed when the office server is not
running
- Wiki macros
- Textarea should be larger
- Importer
- Make the import create new versions of existing pages instead of
overwriting them
- *Search (one of the most asked for features in the survey)*
- Fix the bugs with our Lucene Search implementation to make it the
default one
- Finish implementing the new search UI
- Performance (one of the most asked for features in the survey)
- Clean and apply Denis Gervalle's patch related to attachment upload
memory handling
- Clean and apply Caleb James DeLisle's patch related to document
loading
- Keep working on making the skin lighter
- Other?
- User Profile UI
- Improve the watchlist UI
- Make the user profile look clearer
NEW FEATURES
We won't have the time to work on all of them, but here's a list of new
features we might want to consider working on:
- Skin -> revamp / move the action bar
- CAPTCHA Integration -> make CAPTCHAS available on login / comments
- Application Manager -> create applications descriptors, ability to
version applications
- Document Type Manager -> make XClass & application creation easy
through a nicer UI
- Invitation Manager -> make it easier to add users to the wiki (send an
email allowing account creation)
- Multipage Management tools -> create and export lists of pages
Feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hi There,
I'm starting to explore use of XWiki for a project where we want to
provide a domain-specific semi-structured wiki which seems like it ought
to be a good fit to XWiki's intended usage. However, we're having a bit
of trouble getting started understanding what can and can't easily be
captured in the XWiki data model. Specifically:
1- What is the recommended way to specify object fields that contain
references to other XWiki objects?
2- What is the recommended way to specify object fields that contain
references to non-XWiki plain old Java objects?
3- Is there a standard way to define fields as holding ordered/unordered
lists/sets of objects as opposed to single objects?
4- Assuming we can define models that allow for these sorts of things,
are there easy/standard ways to display such fields contents, as well as
ways for end-users to specify fillers (e.g. list/tree pickers of
existing objects of the desired type)?

Greetings,
I would like to add a "Browse..." button to a macro like the one in the Image dialogue that lets the users choose a directory. Is there a way to do this using macros in wiki pages, or do I need to write Java?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I am running xwiki 2.0 in a path based farm. The logout button works for the main wiki only. Any hints?
I found an old jira error - already solved?

Thanks

Hi all
I would like to use XWiki for a European scientific project.
Could you tell me if it is possible to write mathematics.
Thank you in advance
