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 Shane posted recently for more details.

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 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 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
Implement proposed PortalMetadataTool

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 (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.
