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
