afaict (scanning the archives) it's never been proposed to the

Hi.

Alexander Limi wrote:
 Hanno Schlichting has said that he'd like to be the release manager for
 Plone 4, and I'd like to formally propose him as a candidate for this
 role.

Over the last couple of months, I have been considering to step up for
the release manager job and have gotten positive feedback from various
community members to the idea.

I have not made this public for a long time, as I wanted to get an
understanding about out shared community vision for what Plone 4 should
actually be, before stepping up as a manager for it.

Culminating in the conference I think I have gotten an understanding of
what direction the community wants to go into and I can identify myself
with that direction. I'll try to summarize some broad ideas about this
direction and the general roadmap for Plone 4 from my point of view soon.

 Martin Aspeli has indicated that he'd like to help Hanno in a 
 developer communication role, so Hanno can focus on his job of the
 release manager, and Martin will help communicate what's going on to
 our core developers and add-on product developers.

I asked Martin to help in the communication effort, as I know my German
communication-style can easily be misunderstood by some people, who
don't know me in person ;) Giving Martin an official title should make
his role unambigous and let him do, what he is so good at, with an
official blessing :)

 So, if anyone else is interested in being the release manager for Plone
 4, let us know!

Please do step up, if you want to take on this role. I don't have an
exclusive right of any kind to get the job.

 Also, if the official nomination for the Plone 4 release manager has to
 wait until there is a Framework Team for 4.0, we should:
 
 a) Start identifying these people ASAP.
 b) Possibly accept Hanno as an interim release manager until the team
 can make an official recommendation based on the available candidates.

As we agreed in Washington to give the framework team the role of
finding and suggesting the release manager to the foundation board, we
cannot make a final decision about it, as long as we don't have a new team.

I'd be happy to serve as an interim manager and renew my application to
the new framework team once it is in place.

Plone events in various calendaring software like iCal, Google 
Calendar, Outlook, Sunbird, etc.


The view is added to ATContentTypes, and is currently implemented on a

[Framework-Team] Comments on PLIP 244

2008-10-28 Thread Ricardo Alves

Hi framework team,

I'm sorry I didnt' comment on the previous discussion about PLIP #244, 
but I wasn't subscribing this list. Anyway, I'd like to comment on some 
of the objections already posted in the PLIP page.


About the usefulness of site-wide portlets, let me give an example: you 
have a static portlet assignment at a folder, and that portlet makes 
sense only in the context of that folder, so you want to block it in 
subfolders but keeping site-wide portlets visible (e.g. like news, 
review list, events, etc). Currently you can't do this, unless you 
manage to setup some weird combination using the other categories...


Let me also make it clear that the idea here is not to break with 
existing functionality, neither with any concept. The idea of marking 
categories as not inherited by subfolders would be extremely useful. 
Currently, you need to block inheritance in all subfolders.


Anyway, I'll be happy to reformulate this PLIP, or even split it into 
smaller ones, after some more discussion.



Thanks,

Ricardo

Re: [Framework-Team] PLIP #187: Working out-of-the-box WebDAV

2008-10-28 Thread Alan Runyan
Andreas,

Please confirm, the outstanding questions are:

  - Wichert asking, How are the marshallers configured via GenericSetup

  This is a great question.

  - Ricardo asking, how the OS X resource fork issue was resolved.

 We should not focus on how a certain platform works
correctly/incorrectly. We should focus on getting a standard webdav
client to work.  By standard I mean either davlib.py or cadaver.  Not
OSX or Windows Web Folders.  FWIW: Enfold Desktop uses davlib.py.

WRT The implementation does need to be thoroughly reviewed.  Yes it
will take framework team some time.  So I would suggest allocating
lots of resources to reviewing these changes since they are many.

The PLIP should grow by 2-3 paragraphs explaining at a high level what
changes were made and why they were made.

Does this sound correct?

i think the latter would be a good idea, because IMHO there are some  
good ideas in the plip that are worth implementing in their own right,  
i.e. point #3:


Improve the portlet management screen to show all portlets that can  
be shown, so users are able to see what's going to be blocked with a  
category.


i'd vote that +1 any time. it would also open the door for blocking  
portlets not per category (the whole category idea is misguided IMHO  
in regard to portlets) but per instance. (that might be a separate  
plip, too)

Re: [Framework-Team] PLIP 238: Disable inline editing by default

2008-10-28 Thread Raphael Ritz

Wichert Akkerman wrote:

I want to propose PLIP 238: Disable inline editing by default

Motivation
--
I suspect that by now most of us have realized that the current inline editing
behaviour in Plone 3 is not very practical. It has two main problems:

* it is very easily triggered by default, which causes unwanted edit fields to
  be opened which have to be manually closed. This happens because many,
  if not most, people click accidentily, select text to keep track of
  the reading position, try to select text to copypaste it or for other
  reasons. Since every single click activates inline edit this happens
  all too often and becomes very frustrating over time.

* as Alexander mentioned in his new UI proposal what you really want is
  a quick option to go to a full edit-mode. Editing a single field is a
  much less common operation than we were expecting.

I can't think of a single Plone deployment I have been involved in for
the last 6 months where we have not disabled inline editing, which
strengthens my believe that the current default is wrong.

Proposal

Current Plone releases have a simple toggle to enable or disable inline
editing. I propose that we change the default for newly created sites to
disabled.

Please note that I do not propose to disable inline field validation in
edit screens: that is a very useful and desirable feature.

PS: And while we are at this: personally I do like inline editing
for simple fields like title, description, a date and such.
But where I really HATE it is when it comes to text fields as
they often contain a large body of text that you want to scroll
through, that has links embedded that you want to click etc.

But that's not the matter of this PLIP and it seems like we are
going to see more on this soon anyway.

Re: [Framework-Team] PLIP 238: Disable inline editing by default

2008-10-28 Thread Alec Mitchell
Is it really that much work to fix the ui for starting an edit?  I
think there are a lot of people who like this feature, but are
frustrated by the UI.  Disabling it does nothing to fix that though,
it's just another regression to work around what many consider a real
UI bug.

 I want to propose PLIP 238: Disable inline editing by default

 Motivation
 --
 I suspect that by now most of us have realized that the current inline
 editing
 behaviour in Plone 3 is not very practical. It has two main problems:

 * it is very easily triggered by default, which causes unwanted edit
 fields to
  be opened which have to be manually closed. This happens because many,
  if not most, people click accidentily, select text to keep track of
  the reading position, try to select text to copypaste it or for other
  reasons. Since every single click activates inline edit this happens
  all too often and becomes very frustrating over time.

 * as Alexander mentioned in his new UI proposal what you really want is
  a quick option to go to a full edit-mode. Editing a single field is a
  much less common operation than we were expecting.

 I can't think of a single Plone deployment I have been involved in for
 the last 6 months where we have not disabled inline editing, which
 strengthens my believe that the current default is wrong.

 Proposal

[Framework-Team] Draft Call for Team Membership Applications

2008-10-28 Thread Steve McMahon
DRAFT Call for Plone 4.x Framework Team Members

Would you like to help choose what goes into Plone 4?

The Plone Framework team is now receiving applications for membership in the
Plone 4 Framework Team.

The Framework Team will be responsible for evaluating the PLone Improvement
Proposals (PLIPS) for Plone 4.x. The team also nominates the release manager
to the Plone Foundation Board, which does the hiring. PLIP evaluation
consists of considering the benefits and risks associated with a PLIP and
casting a reasoned and explained +/- 1 vote on each proposal. Framework Team
members also follow PLIP implementation, and make recommendations to the
Release Manager.

Qualifications include:

   - An awareness of community strategic discussions about Plone's
   development;
   - Ability to make a long-term committment. Plone 4 will take some time,
   and the team will stay together to work on the entire 4.x series.
   - A good understanding of Plone's architecture and UI: enough to weigh
   risks and benefits;
   - Time to keep up with discussions on the Framework Team mailing lists;
   - The ability to occasionally budget a significant amount of time for
   evaluating PLIPs in detail as feature-lock deadlines approach;
   - The ability to work with SVN well enough to test PLIP integration and
   implementation for final evaluation;
   - The personality to get along well in a flexible, give-and-take group
   process and to accept and support group decisions.

New Framework Team members will be chosen by existing Framework Team members
and involved FWT alumni. Considerations will include many criteria beyond
the simply technical. The new team must be balanced in skills and likely to
work well together.

Please note something new: the Plone 3.x Framework Team will continue to
work on enhancing Plone 3.x during the development of Plone 4 and possibly
afterwards.

If you're interested, please send an introductory note, explaining your
interest and qualifications, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Postings
from non-subscribers are rejected, so if you're not a subscriber, send your
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a request for forwarding.

No part of the UI is 'owned'. If someone has a better implementation I'm
all for that, but I don't have the right skillset to implement it. Until
then this PLIP improves the currently situation quite a bit.

 About the usefulness of site-wide portlets, let me give an example: you 
 have a static portlet assignment at a folder, and that portlet makes 
 sense only in the context of that folder, so you want to block it in 
 subfolders but keeping site-wide portlets visible (e.g. like news, 
 review list, events, etc). Currently you can't do this, unless you 
 manage to setup some weird combination using the other categories...

I disagree. Again you are just describing a special case of a more
generic problem: the lack of ability to selective block (and perhaps
unblock) portlets. I can not think of a single situation where site
portlets would make sense.

Andreas,

Please confirm, the outstanding questions are:

 - Wichert asking, How are the marshallers configured via  
GenericSetup


 This is a great question.

 - Ricardo asking, how the OS X resource fork issue was resolved.

We should not focus on how a certain platform works
correctly/incorrectly. We should focus on getting a standard webdav
client to work.  By standard I mean either davlib.py or cadaver.  Not
OSX or Windows Web Folders.  FWIW: Enfold Desktop uses davlib.py.



If the OSX webdav support was dropped from this PLIP, then perhaps the  
PLIP should be updated to make that clear. At the moment, it clearly  
suggests that the OSX behavior was specifically targeted.

I agree that per-portlet blocking would make it easier, and it shouldn't 
be that hard to implement.



I can not think of a single situation where site
portlets would make sense.



The use case is almost the same, even with per-portlet blocking. I'll 
try to describe it.


Say you have the following site structure:

/ (Site Root)
/services (Folder)
/services/network/ (Folder)

- the site root has a portlet assignment (e.g. news portlet)

- the folder /services blocks the news portlet

- but you don't want to block the news portlet in folder /services/network

- if using a site-wide portlet, folder /services would be the only one 
blocking it and it would be shown in /services/network.



Anyway, I do agree that this use case is not that common, and 
per-portlet blocking would do the trick for most use cases. So I guess 
the best is to start working on it :)

I will leave that up to Sidnei.  Having a working WebDAV is a big  
change.
We have been working on the problem for over 3 years.  I would  
suggest that
sidnei/framework team focus on a platform agnostic dav client on the  
first
go around.  If you focus on having every platform supported fully -  
it may or

may not happen.

I will let sidnei answer for himself.

Alan Runyan



Just to be clear, even though this issue is important to me, I'm  
agnostic about whether this particular PLIP *should* include OSX  
webdav fixes.


But regardless, I think we can agree that it is very important that  
PLIPs accurately reflect what is actually being proposed before they  
become part of the public release documentation.
