Getting things done¶

Streamline the backend usability¶

• UXW09 week results
  • ajax based pagetree (Stefan Galinski) http://github.com/sgalinski/typo3v4core
  • context menu API (Stefan Galinski) http://github.com/sgalinski/typo3v4core
  • toolbar (Ivan, Steffen Kamper)
  • backend search (Michael Klapper)
  • transformation to ExtJS and creating API (Steffen Kamper)
  • module menu (Steffen Kamper)
  • grid view / page module (Thomas Hempel) http://forge.typo3.org/projects/extension-modernbe
• New Extension Manager (Steffen Kamper, Jeff Segars)
• Install tool refactoring (continued) (Patrick Broens)
• Auto-clean up of localconf.php (Christian Kuhn)
• improvements to the recycler (Julian Kleinhans)
• Image content element (Tobi is going to explore this)
  • Usability-wise it's bad right now (idea from Jens)
  • User interface should be along the lines of IRRE (but: workspace compatib. probs)

Make it the fastest TYPO3 version ever
(fast frontend, fast backend, less memory requirements...)¶

• frontend performance, caching (Rupert Germann)
• "no fe-user switch"
• performance of Extbase, if loading extbase doesn't slow TYPO3 down (Jochen Rau)
• performance improvements in DBAL: API for parametrised queries and use it in core (Xavier Persequers) http://forge.typo3.org/projects/extension-dbal/repository/show/branches/QueryCache
• Indexed search (Michael Stucki)
• MENU_DATA cache overflow problem (Patrick Broens)

Keep the product strongly placed on enterprise level¶

• Workspaces: Results of workspaces team efforts (Workspaces Team)
• backend cleanup (IE compat etc.) (Jo Hasenau) http://forge.typo3.org/projects/backend-cleanup
• UTF-8 by default (Michael Stucki)
• DBAL continues to get special attention (TYPO3 works on Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL) (Xavier Persequers)
• Use third-party SwiftMailer as a stable mail library to be used by t3lib_htmlmail (Ernesto Baschny) SwiftMailer http://swiftmailer.org/
• Lightbox integration: Making it more easy (Susanne Moog)
  • The markup of CSS styled content should be suited to work with the usual lightbox libraries on the market
  • Provide a cleaner and consistent API to add this functionality to the click-enlarger
  • Possibly integrate one such library (at least in the intro package)
• getting rid of inline styles of CSC completely and externalize them to CSS files, due to govt. requirements (idea from Patrick Broens)
• Headerdata inclusions on content element base (Jeff Segars)

Make use of our new modern APIs or create new ones:¶

• TCE forms refactoring / rewrite (Andreas Wolf)
  • idea: view part should use fluid
  • IRRE: still messy
• scheduler and related:
  • making cleanup and lowlevel cronjobs use the scheduler (Christian Kuhn)
  • poor man's cron: reacing on page load called from other server (Christian Kuhn)
• Getting rid of prototype + scriptaculous (general goal, Steffen Kamper)
• reports module improvements (Ingo Renner)
  • scheduler task to detect issues with the installation
  • scheduler task for extension list update, and update checks
  • get rid of the yellow alert box, and provide a clean replacement (e.g. icon in the toolbar)
• File abstraction layer (Dan Osipov)
• Provide an editor with syntax highlighting for the whole backend (also .css, .html, .ts etc files) (Tobias Liebig)
• FORM API: Service based validation, captcha API

More issues to work on:¶

• Forms project goes on (Patrick Broens)
• "Tasks on steroids" (Tim Lochmüller)
