KixFw Development Roadmap


The following should be implemented:

  • Search in documents with authorised read access.
  • View the configuration for all plugins configured for the current view.
  • Multiple views via multiple viewing plugins (done in KixFw-1.10).
  • Suppress the raw view - via configuration?

Wish List for More Plugins

  • Add perl compilation view plugin.
  • Add export to file plugin - done but not yet published.
  • Add simple copy new document content to new version in dependent - ideal for staging of work.
  • Add event multiplexing plugin for event distribution to multiple event handling plugins.
  • Release KixPlugin::Wiki2Html (to be called KixPlugin::Wiki?).
  • Add plugins to support standard Microsoft Office documents. What open source to start from?

Other Functional Improvements

  • Provide a documentation interface for plugins - display relevant plugins with relevant metadata.
  • Add submit metadata (comment) to version creation and document upgrades.
  • Send notification to owner of a document, when a responsible person performs significant document operations.

Provide a model view over CFW configuration data.

  • Create accounts with default stake holder document and focus set at it.
  • Improve management of responsible when new folders and documents are created.
  • Improve management of responsible when items are given away.

Authentication

Provide login and account creation support for OpenId.

Authorisation:

  • Develop authorisation plugin interface point.
  • Introduce KIX roles - plugin to authorise role change.
  • Introduce authorised control over export of content and indexes.

Improve Style:

  • General style upgrade.
  • Move main display to scroll-able division.
  • Improve the notification e-mail.

Use quri for configuration info, including how to locate plugins. This should enable configuration for remote displays. (Use Wiki2Html as starting point.)

KIX Development Testing

  • Develop regression testing for all perl modules.

New Physical Bindings for the Kix Data:

  • Develop a file based binding of raw content.
  • Develop a SVN based binding of raw content.
  • Develop a KIX input binding from polling a file system?

X3P:

Introduce a PGP encryption option in the X3P protocol.

KIX Promotion - develop KIX perspectives:

  • live document repository
  • integrated decision making
  • integrated product and service development
  • publisher - dependency
  • web conferences
  • peer-to-peer
  • database
  • RDF
  • stake-holder
  • work-flow
  • processing
  • result export
  • integrated knowledge development
  • integrated knowledge use
  • organisational memory
  • incentives
  • ad hoc collaborations - by default
  • structured collaborations - via plugins

Patterns of collaboration - support by plugins

Are there suitable patterns already defined?

  • Is DSDM a suitable pattern for a management plugin?
  • Is Scrum a suitable pattern for a management plugin?
  • Requirements engineering - what patterns exists?
