Re: [xwiki-users] Roadmap for XE 1.4

Vincent, We'd like to see: * An improved WYSIWYG editor with the following features: - cut and paste from Word and web pages easily i.e. without having to go back and adjust the formatting of what's been pasted onto an XWiki page - cut and paste images without attaching first (i.e. when you cut and paste images are automatically attached the page) - can the appearance of table be made better and used to layout the page so text can be grouped in columns and boxes more easily? - don't think being able to flip between WYSIWYG and the wiki editor makes sense - when flipping from WYSIWYG editor and the wiki editor the markup isn't very readable or editable and a lot of errors seem to get introduced. I guess the wiki markup editor allows you to enter code easily so a wiki editor is still useful, but maybe the WYSIWYG editor could allow editing of text WYSIWYG style BUT also allow wiki editing of sections of the page, so that way you hide the awful WYSIWYG markup layout but allow wiki markups and code in defined sections of a page. These wiki/code sections in the WYSIWYG editor could then be marked by boxes containing the wiki markup and code - do you know what I mean? So you get rid of the wiki editor and have one editor the WYSIWYG editor that allows you to use wiki markup and code in user defined areas of a page. - if some wiki markup or code on a page could muckup the layout of the menu bars, etc can XWiki catch it and prevent it from doing that? I think how useful and useable the WYSIWYG editor is effects the users experience and whether they'like and want to use XWiki. * A way of sending emails to XWiki so they can be stored, archived and referenced from a wiki page. Hope that helps.

Here's my first take below. Please comment on it and add other stuff. This is a brainstorming session. Then we can start assigning committers/contributors to goals/issues. General Goals: ============ * Bug fixes ** Go from 240 in JIRA for Core down to 180 on XE 1.4 release date * Better performance ** Run XE with a profiler and find bottlenecks ** Reduce number of database calls ** Improved page loading (JV) ** Make Stats usable on xwiki.org (ThomasM) * More automated tests ** More selenium tests ** Add tests on Tomcat 6.x as part of the CI build ** Add tests on Windows and with IE6 and IE7 as part of the CI build * No new features in general Of course there are some goals that are always valid irrelevant on any release and that we should keep in mind: * More tests * Better javadoc * More documentation on xwiki.org * Code cleanup/refactoring * Extract more plugins from core into plugins proper Specific issues to implement/fix ======================== * Add support for removing class properties (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-99 ) * (optional - depending on availability) - New rendering rewrite (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-654 ) * (optional - depending on availability) - Interface extensions (http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/InterfaceExtensions ) * Add any other critical issue here Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users Thales UK Ltd (Wells) DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail is confidential.
