2.1 KiB
Markdown

This is the roadmap for ikiwiki development.
# 1.0
Generally usable release.
* No severe [[security]] bugs. (./)
* All the [[features]] people would expect in a wiki. Needs to be a plausible
promise of being a wiki that people can commit to [[using|ikiwikiusers]].
(./)
Released 29 April 2006.
# 2.0
* Unit test suite (with tests of at least core stuff like
[[PageSpec]]). _(status: exists, could of course use more tests)_
* [[Plugins]] (./)
* [[Tags]] (./)
* Should have fully working [[todo/utf8]] support. (./)
* [[Optimised_rendering|todo/optimisations]] if possible. Deal with other
scalability issues. _(status: scales to thousands of pages, and approximatly
3.5 times as fast as version 1.0)_ (./)
* Improved [[todo/html]] stylesheets and templates.
* Improved scalable [[logo]]. (./)
* Support for other revision control systems aside from svn.
See [[about_rcs_backends]] _(status: supports git, tla, mercurial)_ (./)
* Support for other markup languages than markdown
_(status: done with rst, textile, etc. Markdown still works best though.)_
(./)
* No serious known [[bugs]]
* No severe-to-moderate known [[security]] issues.
* Conversion support for existing other wikis.
(Being worked on for MoinMoin and TWiki by [[Josh_Triplett|JoshTriplett]]
and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same
framework.)
2.0 will also be an opportunity to remove old backwards compatibility
features and make other changes to the default configuration. Some things
I'm considering:
* Enabling OpenID by default (and disabling password logins by default).
* Dropping GlobLists. However, they can lurk in preferences settings in wikis,
which may make getting rid of them hard, and it may be worth keeping them
so users can list pages without anding them together.
* Making page/index.html be the default output filename, rather than page.html.
_(status: option `usedirs` exists; not yet the default)_
* Enabling [[plugins/goodstuff]] by default?
* Possibly making [[PageSpecs|pagespec]] match relative by default, rather than the current absolute
(see [[Discussion]])
Estimated release date for 2.0: 29 April 2007.
