Objectives

Collaboration Framework

  • ContextContainer model improvements
  • Client-side handle of server-side shutdown

Manageability

  • WSDM Enablement
  • Service start/stop
  • ContextContainer
    • Create / Update / Delete
  • ProjectContainer
    • Create / Update / Delete
    • TeamMemberRepository
      • Create / Update / Delete

Test Framework

  • Client side test cases
  • Server side test cases

Data Stores

  • Apache Derby 10.1.2.1 (Orbit)
    • IP Approved
  • Apache Jackrabbit
    • IP Pending

Project user experience

  • Wizard for adding project container
    • Scope of the wizard:
      • Container name (required)
      • Create team repository (required)
      • Add team members (required)
      • Add repositories - projects, web pages (optional)
    • Current mechanism for adding empty container won't work; it doesn't contain the team member repository as well as a first user, so you won't be able to open such container
  • Logging to container
    • While opening project container there should be login dialog. Using system login name wouldn't work well in production.
    • Some password protection should also available.
    • Could it replace the login to chat.
  • Automatic adding users for guests (?)
    • Not sure of this one.
    • If we would like to expose an example container at our vserver, having User_A, User_B, ... User_Z might not be a best solution. There might be conflicts - several people would login as User_A for instance.
    • So a unique temporary guest users could be added, so that they can participate fully in the container - chat, events, etc.
  • Adding projects to container by right-click -> add to container; dragging could also be an option
    • For new we could require that the project is already shared
    • In future I think the code could identify SCM repository and use its settings to share project first, and then add to container

New features for project scope

  • Mylar
    • I liked the Mylar functionality with Corona (expert, etc). Would it be difficult to update it for Mylar provided with Europa?
  • ECF Shared Editor
    • Add an action "Start shared editor"; an event with shared editor settings is sent and others get an dialog if they want to join; if yes, session settings from event are taken
    • Seems to be simple to do :)
  • Project checkout to working group with container name (probably very simple) - bug 170600
  • Showing status of resources in the whole team
    • show indicators that someone is working on a given file, some removed a file, etc.
    • probably difficult
    • problems:
      • when should the state be cleared?
      • would require some server-side state caching; otherwise when starting IDE you would always have a clear state, even though someone may be working on resources
  • Indicator that a resource has a newer version in CVS; or at least information that there was some CVS check in
  • RSS viewer bug 156275
  • Calendar (iCal) viewer bug 159606
