I guess the right time will be after the beta2 release tomorrow which also means a feature freeze. A personal report from the meeting (features targeted for 3.3 or 3.4, the ez crew will decide so take it with a large grain of salt):
- pdf/rtf export (the manuals will be out with 3.2 final)
- speed enhancements
- full featured import/export xml filter for data too
- passing variables between templates (maybe sooner than 3.3)
- standard features of 2.2.x series including polls, calendar etc as seperate packages
- webdav interface to full class attributes (partly 3.2 I hope)
- more groupware features (also better forums)
- a spellchecker, server-side (not only Bård needs one :-) )
- more notification/collaboration handlers and types
- probably permissions on attribute level
- class inheritance of some sort
- slick design of "standard" templates (Pia & co are great designers)
- lots of little things I did not write down
Furthermore, the community part on ez.no will be improved step by step, including:
- periodical (weekly?) summaries of important posts
- focus on new members: need fast answers to simple questions (we all have to help with this)
Some more watermouthing from our side:
- soon you will find a contribution that is a first step into more xml support: an xslt filter (operator to be used in templates on text fields).
- later on we'll probably develop a new "general xml datatype" which will be able to hold things like OOo presentations (not documents yet, OOo is not yet pure xslt-able). Some code appeared in the php developer magazine for a kick start on this. Smile, tomorrow its beta2 day -paul
