[Xerte-dev] Re: Version 2.1

[Julian Tenney]

OK, that sounds sensible.

I've committed all the HTML thumbnails. There are a few I've left: inventory (I can't see how to add this?), indexChanger (?) Xerte, and Scenario, which don't have html5 models

I think the community might be expecting .1 increments now... API will be done long before the HTML Wizard so it would be good to do incremental releases and we need to sort out the sitedetails vs site_options horizontal/vertical database thing and do a small release...

If we wait until v3.0 then no one will update until then as there will have been no 'BIG LAUNCH' and instead of being 3 releases away (1.7-2.0) they will be further!!

>From memory we'll have:

Stuff nearly there:
Plugins (soonish - hopefully)
App Store/Extend (almost there if not already)
API (soon)

Longer terms stuff:
HTML Wizard (3-6 months away at least)
Theme (?? Dunno)
Experience/Tin-Can API (6-12 months??)

Plus we have a lot of bugfixes in v2.0 since release - people won't update unless they think they need to... but perhaps Tom could organize this to automate v2.0.1 etc and possibly even v2.1-9

Anyway... ramble over...

Best start  new thread on this topic: what and when for 2.1?

With all the automated builds, it really helps - there isn't so much of a need to push all the fixes into a release, so we could stick with 2.0 and think about 3.0, which would be:


-          API

-          HTML Wizard

-          New theme / branding / look and feel (we've started looking at this)

-          +?

But there is a lot of work in there...

Thoughts?
