Plan

Meet each others :)
Talk about everybody's work on forges
Plan the roadmap/features for the next FusionForge version, and prepare an announcement, grouping planned improvements by visibility and use Fusionforge tracker to display it (roadmap) :
- End-user
- Site-admins
- Developers

First, let's continue to discuss issues in the Friday IRC meeting - the meeting doesn't take over all forms of discussions ;)

Let's try to list impacting topics here. Express features, then the implementation details and impact (the ends rather than the means).

Improve Ergonomy & accessibility
- Involves a templating system (Symfony's Twig?)
- Use standard Fusionforge templating system, HTML and utils helpers to clean the code.
- Rewrite the feedback / error_msg / warning_msg system using cookie ? use util_init_messages, util_save_messages
Concurrent_WebDAV_and_SSH
- leads: Gitolite-style single user? Apache-Fuse IPC? SabreDav? Lolando's mod-itk experiment?
Responsiveness (create projects & SSH keys immediately)
- leads: dedicated daemon? Reuse tools like RabbitMQ or Redis, or Fedmsg [1] [2] or re-code?
- Or a job queue and a frequent cron job (every minute? five minutes?) that only runs what's needed (cf. job-server.pl experiment)
Release process
- Make the release cycle *way* shorter, to help void forks (e.g. EvolvisForge stuck on 5.1) ; 5.4 or 6.0 ?
- Use tracker vote system to adapt our roadmap ?
- Taking care of the open Features Requests, Patches and Bugs. (20140405: 49 bugs, 15 patches, 85 feature requests)
Common installation system & merge/minimize Debian packaging branch
Private Git repositories browsing [3]
NFS limitations (16 groups/user) - what to recommend? (kernel patch, webdav, iSCSI)
GID potential conflicts (user gids start at 20000, is at 39000 at Inria, projects starts at 50000)
Planetforge, Forge Ecosystem
Continue Docman enhancement Docman_rewrite_proposition

If there's time, we could talk on trolly :

Long-term evolution : towards a framework, towards improved internal funcs, towards Drupal...

Ideas that didn't fit the topics above :

Under "Improve Ergonomy & accessibility", please explain the link to topic :
- Using a microframework (Symfony's Silex? )
- Should we try to share a Common plugin system, or support others? mediawiki ?, drupal ?, ...?
Please clarify:
- Use/make ldap or Idp provider plugin (openid, cas, fusiondirectory, lemonldap, simplesamlphp )?
Rewrite FRS: use docman/tracker code model, link with hudson? link with SCM tags? link with artefact repository?
- Rewrite Diary: make it a blog feature ? => following IRC discussion it appears nerville thinks of a big plan to rewrite PHP objects
