PTK 1.0 Roadmap

 ASAP

  * Fix or close out remaining PTK Tracker issues.

  * Release PTK 0.9.3.  This release will fix a couple of issues
    which make 0.9.2 hard to use;  CVS will still be the preferred
    source until 1.0, however.

 Must-Have for 1.0

  * Address the problem that new PTK releases break customized
    portal instances (i.e., finish out the PortalSkinsTool that
    Shane has in work).  See the "skins explanation",
     http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/2001-January/002161.html
    Shane posted recently for more details.

    ShaneH (2001-01-26) --
      I have created a document, SkinsProposal, that explains the motivations
      behind skins and has brief details on how to use them.

  * "Transparent membership" (checked in as the new
    'portal_memberdata' tool).  This feature allows the PTK to
    operate without needing its own 'acl_users' folder; it wraps
    the authenticated users from its acquired user folder in a
    "member" object (which has portal-specific
    properties/behavior).

  * Implement "topics" as member-addable content (like ZTopics,
    but "portalized", with perhaps less knowledge of /
    dependency on ZCatalog internals).  See:

     - http://www.zope.org/Members/MikeP/Products/ZTopic, but note
       that it needs a "one-line patch",
         http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2001-January/038621.html
       to make it work under current Zopes.

  * Integrate Ethan's "new 'div' chrome",
      http://www.zope.org/Builder
    (layout without 'table' tags!).  Clean up the stylesheets,
    as well.  The point here is to make style-based design
    possible, degrading cleanly in browsers (NS4, particularly)
    which implement CSS poorly.

  * Complete integration with "hookable PUT",
      http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/HookablePUTCreation 
    to enable content creation via WebDAV / Amaya / Composer /
    FTP;  needs to handle both STX w/ headers and HTML (ripping
    metadata from 'meta' and 'title' tags, maybe ripping
    content from a specially-marked 'div' tag, as an
    alternative to the whole 'body').
    
    May need some kind of registry for mapping MIME-types (and
    filename extensions?) to classes.

 Desirable for 1.0

  * State-machine-driven WorkflowTool (needs to be ripped out
    from a consulting gig version, refactored a bit). See the
    "mailing list discussion",
      http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/2000-December/002007.html

  * Implement "proposed PortalMetadataTool",
     http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/ZWiki/PortalMetadataToolProposal

 Can Wait / Parallel

  * Package Rochester's PortalEventCalendar product (developed
    for a consulting gig) as a PTK add-in.

  * Package Rochester's PortalPoll product (developed for
    a consulting gig) as a PTK add-in.

  * Implement "proposed PortalEventsTool",
     http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/ZWiki/PortalEventsToolProposal
    (this one is important, but requires touching almost everything).

  * Reimplement saner DiscussionsTool (keep discussion items
    with their anchor content; perhaps make discussability an
    instance- level option, rather than set on the class).

  * Re-integrate Kevin/Bill's Membership product.
