XWiki 16.0.0

General goals:

  • Introduce new important changes in 16.0.0 (ie early in the cycle to have the time to stabilize)
  • Finish work for 15.10.x
    • Stabilization
    • Finish features started in the XWiki 15.x cycle so that they are considered finished by the stakeholders. It's important to plan quickly a meeting with your stakeholders to discuss that.
      • We didn't finish migrating from LT to LD, we need to progress and finish it ideally in 15.10.x  
      • We need to finish realtime so that it's business ready in 15.10.x
      • Re WCAG, we need to ideally finish fixing all issues for 15.10.x too. If not possible we need to define a target.
      • New PDF export: needs to not have known important bugs open
      • All these should be merged on the 15.10.x branch
