Hi,
Here are some news about the Nuxeo projects.
I'm currently in Austria for the kickoff of the IKS project (see
below), but I will try my best to reply to any question you may have
on these news (and I'm sure that other people, much more knowledgeable
than I am on the development roadmap, will do the same).
Regards,
S.

Nuxeo got an award
Nuxeo has been named “Company to Watch in 2009” by Intelligent
Enterprise. “Strong community support” has been highlighted in the
article, so thanks to everyone who is part of our project! (Full
quote: “Already the leading open-source enterprise content management
vendor in Europe, Nuxeo now has its sights set on the big US market.
Expect to see its fast growth, strong community support and steady
pace of innovation continue. “)

Upcoming release
We’re still working very hard on the 5.2 M4, which has been delayed
one more week and should be ready by the end of this week (the exact
release date will be announced soon).
Here are a few technical highlights of what’s coming soon:
The SQL repository will become the default repository in 5.2 (JCR
storage will still be supported).
Workflow refactoring: the workflow API and implementation is being
simplified, to be easier to use for developers.
Events refactoring: the event API and implementation is being
simplified, to be easier to use for developers.
WebEngine: some refactoring to make it easier to use for developers
(see a pattern here ;) ? ) Another huge improvement is that it is now
possible to write the interaction classes in Java and have them hot-
releaded by the server, increasing developers agility and pleasure.
Search refactoring: the Core is now responsible for search, the API
has been simplified, Compass is gone.
A new “Converter” API that replaces the existing “Transformer” API,
for content transformation.
GWT support.
Lots of other improvements, and new features, that will be presented
in more details in the release notes.
More info about our plans for Nuxeo 5.2 in the slides and videos
collections from the Nuxeo DevDay last December:http://www.nuxeo.com/en/events/slides-videos-devday/#whatsnew

CMIS update
Florent Guillaume is in the US this week for the first face-to-face
meeting of the CMIS working group since the project got accepted by
OASIS a few months ago. We’ll get a clearer roadmap for the
specification (which, last time I checked, was supposed to go gold by
the end of 2009 or beginning of 2010).
A prototype miminal implementation of CMIS 0.5 (the most recent draft)
on top of WebEngine, using all the power of JAX-RS annotations, is now
publicly available (http://hg.nuxeo.org/sandbox/nuxeo-cmis/).
R&D work on the semantic web
Work has started on two large scale R&D projects, financed in part by
the French Government and Paris Region (for Scribo), and by the
European Commission (for IKS).
Scribo (http://www.scribo.ws/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome) aims at
integrating language and image analysis technologies, as well as
ontologies extractions and annotation techniques, into content
management systems. Work on the project is now in the design phase,
but expect to see some code related the UIMA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UIMA
) in our repository in the following moths.
IKS (http://www.iks-project.eu/) is a 4 year project funded by a 6.5
MEUR grant from the EC which aims to bridge the gap between
researchers in the area of semantics and interactive knowledge, and
small to medium size companies in the fields of Content Management and
Knowledge Management. Its end major technological result of the
project will be the “Interactive Knowledge Stack”, a layered set of
software components and specifications which will make traditional
content management platforms capable of dealing with the future
“Semantic Web”.
