The scope of 0.7 has not changed, but we have a lot of enhancements yet to do to 0.6, IMO. One major thing is the discovery and installation of extensions, half of which I wrote at RailsConf.
Asset management is an issue that I think everyone wants a different solution for. I primarily wanted to be able to put images in my blog posts and I liked the interface John had mocked up, so I emulated it with page_attachments. Gallery takes a more asset-focused approach and makes it easy to display lots of images. It's also pretty easy to roll-your-own. There's power and flexibility in the diversity of approaches here, and I don't think we've reached the 'standardization' stage. In fact, in some ways I hope we never reach that -- it could mean a hugely bloated piece of software. And there are better software out there for asset management than any extension in Radiant could achieve. My $0.02. Sean Keith Bingman wrote: > What are the core plans for a new image manager?
