1. Feature Requests for Kampala Release

• Desired outcome: Discuss and decide on pending feature request that need attention
• See TWikiFeatureProposals and WebChanges

• TWikiasPSGIapplication and AdaptTWikiToPSGIEngineContrib - by Harald
  • Great proposal, experimental
  • New base directory for twiki.psgi file

  • Potential replacement for TWikiForWindowsPersonal
  • AdaptTWikiToPSGIEngineContrib feature proposal accepted by this release meeting.

• InlineDocsAccordingToPodSpec - by Harald

2. Extensions

• Desired outcome: Get everyone in sync, coordinate enhancements
• See WebChanges in Plugins web

• SetGetPlugin - by PTh
  • Finished support for JSON objects and JSON path
  • Example at SetGetPlugin
  • For use by Ajax apps and pre-building structures for better performance

• IfThenActionPlugin - by PTh
  • Work in progress, not yet published
  • Plugin code and docs are 90% done
  • Reason for plugin: Refresh cache when a dependent topic is updated
  • Example if-then-action rules table:

    If	Source	Then	Target	Comment
    save	Sandbox.IfThenActionTest	view	Sandbox.IfThenActionView	this does a normal topic view
    save	Sandbox.IfThenActionTest	viewdaemon	Sandbox.IfThenActionViewDaemon	this does a daemon view, e.g. is non-blocking
    save	Sandbox.CID-*	setformfield	$children/formfield(Status) = formfield(Status)	this updates all children's Status field to the current topic's Status field

  • Idea for new if-actions: upload
  • Idea for new then-actions: mailto

• LdapContribAdminPlugin - by Harald
  • Small fix by Harald

3. Review Urgent and Not So Urgent Bugs
