This page contains the roadmap for past releases that were part of the 6.x Release Cycle. Latest roadmaps can be found on the XWiki Enterprise Roadmap page.

XWiki 6.2

Failed to execute the [velocity] macro. Cause: [The execution of the [velocity] script macro is not allowed in [xwiki:Roadmaps.Archives.Archives6xCycle]. Check the rights of its last author or the parameters if it's rendered from another script.]. Click on this message for details.

  • Make Flamingo production-ready and the default skin in XE - Guillaume + Caty. Specifically this means (at least):
    • Finish the AppBar implementation (with proper icons) 
    • Polishing everywhere 
    • Ensure it works fine on mobile devices 
    • Finish Theme Editor 
    • Investigation about UI standards (theme variables , css classes, html/macros, js) (some thoughts here) 
  • Continue on improving page loading times and performances in general as much as possible in the time frame - Thomas

    No JIRA issues defined since Thomas didn't know what he was going to work on since he wanted to run some Profiling tools first...

  • Finish File Manager + javascript framework evaluation/proposal (propose angularJS with LT in angular + treeview, etc)  - Marius
  • Release a usable v1 of signed scripts with UI - Denis
  • Investigate Activity Stream v2 - Edy. Goal: take the occasion of the rewrite to:
    • Make it performant 
    • Catch up and leap over the competition in term of features/usability emoticon_wink 
    • Need find all use cases and gather feedback from everyone 
  • Implement as many JIRA issues as possible from the list below, starting with the top one and going down - Edy:
  • Usability recording analysis and conclusions (Caty made some interviews with newcomers to XWiki with some scenarios to see what we should improve) + New icon set (vectorial) investigation (needed for AppBar) + UI standards (see above) - Caty
  • Implement sending of mail invitations in Meeting Manager using the new Mail Sender API + Publish the Hierarchy Macro he’s been working on + work on Collaborative Apps - Lyes
