[Webwork-devel] DRAFT 3 - next release features/requirements

[Matt B. <ma...@sm...>]

3rd draft of possible next release feature/requirements based on what people
have posted. Right now these are candidate ideas. Once we have a good list,
we can repost for inclusion/exclusion/prioritization, etc.

Other ideas?

Documentation
1. Better velocity documentation
2. A more detailed section describing the view mapping focusing on using
actions.xml and views.properties with an example containing all the goodies
(commands, aliases, hierarchical aspects etc.) and describing the main
differences between them.
3. A detailed description on the single items and configuration of the
webwork.properties should be done (based on the default.properties)
4. Client Action documentation

Enhancements
1. More velocity macros, etc.
2. WML tags
3. XHTML tags (possible move our existing tags to be XHTML compliant)
4. VXML tags
5. Ability to chain actions
6. XSLT should be enhanced slightly to be really useful. We need some XSLT
java extension for URL-escaping and so on.
7. Ability to receive multi-part content - AttachmentAware?

Examples/Tests
1. More Swing/Client side examples

Misc
1. Bug list
2. Feature list
3. Instrument/profile code - where is our bottlenecks? how well does WW
scale?
4. Logging - overhaul debug statements to use proper logging levels - debug,
info, etc.
5. Nightly builds

Incorporating new view technologies
1. Flash
2. Apache Axis (SOAP)
