I would be willing to do at least some portion of this one as long as we
(read: Alec Mitchel and I) can get plone.app.form into shape and I can
use formlib-based configlets.

Comments?

I have gone through all the PLIPs that are targeting 3.0, marked them as  
in progress if they have work that I know about, and pinged most of  
the maintainers about the review bundle deadline this weekend.


...and I just received a mail from Vincenzo that he'll be happy to do the  
workflow PLIPs, but is on vacation until September 3rd (and he deserves  
one).


I'll see if I can cobble together a somewhat coherent PLIP (maybe with  
Raphael) before that - but allowing a few extra days before this is  
reviewed would be appreciated. I'm sure you'll have enough to do the first  
week of reviewing anyway. :)

You can setup an dummy bundle. That will get you the comment that the
plip has been submitted but is not ready for merging yet, giving you a
few weeks to get it all polished up.

Yeah, that was what I meant - s/PLIP/bundle/ in my original mail.

It's definitely bedtime here, as you can see. ;)

Go, go, go! I think plone.app.form will be necessary in a lot of 
endeavours, such as plone.app.portlets and plone.app.contentrules as well.

Hi,

 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/117 (AJAX dep)
 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/116 (AJAX dep)
 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/163 (AJAX dep)
 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/124 (AJAX dep)

All of these are fairly obvious. There will naturally be tweaking and
iterations of the implementation, but I think that these types of
improvements can sometimes be done on trunk rather than in branches
where they either would affect several other branches (e.g. a new widget
that several new features may need) or where they are straightforward
and/or easily reversible (e.g. a template change can be reverted without
serious dependency breakage).

Let's see what does come in time for the deadline, but if some of these
don't, I'd be +1 to seeing them done afterwards *provided* that the beta
and RC deadlines are taken seriously!

Pragmatically speaking, as Limi points out, it's also a bit unfair to
penalise these PLIPs when we haven't got the AJAX story sorted out yet.
There is still too much uncertainty to start on any of these in earnest.

 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/175 (sleeper PLIP)

This is a kind of meta-PLIP. Yes, we need more control panel pages. :)
Having people add them a bit later in the day should be fairly low-risk
though. It's only slapping a nicer UI on features we already have!

 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/126 (sleeper PLIP)

Link type improvements would be nice to have, but needs a champion.

 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/132 (limi was wrong)

I believe Florian was onto this as well (getIcon improvements). Again,
it's not terribly controversial.

 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/176 (visual redesign pending)

If this is too invasive, it may be a bit risky and impact a lot of other
PLIPs. If the changes are relatively minor or gradual, they may be OK.
This sounds like branch work, though. :)

 A special one is:
 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/134 (too important to be
 dropped, needs champion - also relatively easy to do)

We need a champion for this, badly. It's an important feature, and I've
seen a lot of users confused by the lack of editor/viewer local role
management on the sharing page. It's also relatively straightforward, it
just needs a person in charge. :-(


I would say that anything that doesn't have something valuable ready
by the PLIP review deadline should probably only be allowed in at the
sole discretion of the release manager.

Alec

They'll have to be done reasonably early in the alphas I think.

Agreed.

It's incredibly vague so we can't judge this one. Do we have any idea
when this might start to become clearer?

Code-wide it should be fairly low impact though, so it can be developed
on a branch or on a seperate product and merged when we feel it's ready.

 +1, but isn't that the case with everything, anyway? Besides, I'm sure 
 Wiggy would want input from the wider community on these kinds of 
 decisions, so discussing it here would be valuable even if it's outside 
 the normal process.

Definitely. I have no problem being an authorative bastard, but only if
I really have to. I certainly do not have the illusion that I know more
and other people. I see the release manager role as mostly being about
making sure a good process is in place and being used. Most of the
required knowledge comes from community input.
