Road Map discussed on the TWiki Community Summit in Silicon Valley, Q1 2008

Created at TWikiCommunitySummitRome2007 and updated at TWikiCommunitySummit2008Q1 and assumed to be reviewed at least every 6 months. Roadmap looks approx one year out in the future.

• Usability:
  • Seamless, quick, extensible WYSIWYG
  • Point and click permissions
  • Flow of manipulating content: File upload, more screen,...
  • Polish content of the TWiki distribution to be more accessible to different types of personas
• Performance & scalability:
  • Fast structured queries
  • Fast text search
  • Storage back-end that scales to gazillions of pages with compatibility and audit trail
  • Address high traffic bottlenecks by e.g. implementing caching
  • Topic Object Model
• Application platform:
  • Easy ways to build & exchange applications & components
• Mashups:
  • Easy ways to mash up different data sources & applications (XML/SOAP/JSON/OpenSocial toolkit)
• UI:
  • Stable template baseline for skins [1]

[1] Summit discussed this. Some quotes in italic. They are quotes for further discussions and should be not taken as decisions or conclusions

• Need a meeting with skin developers to conclude on this point.
• Provide a simple way for new TWiki admins to create/modify a skin to get the look of a corporate branding standard
• Easier to upgrade TWiki without having your tailorings redone
• (added after summit) - simplifying upgrades is one of the major requirements for MoveableTypeSkin, which decouples the TWiki's look and feel from TWiki features, creating a css based design environment which will not require changing as TWiki changes.

It should be noted that the roadmap in no way excludes anyone from contributing features in other areas. Contributors can still raise proposals per TWikiRelease04x01Process. Also note that items that had 0 votes are still desired features. The voting is simply for showing the priority among the summit participants.
