Roadmaps

[Boudewijn Rempt]

Leadership! Navigation! Exploration! Not-very-tall slightly-bearded men jumping around on stage! When it's up, please check out Aaron's desktop summit presentation (https://desktopsummit.org/program/sessions/navigators-and-explorers-leadership-model-open-source-teams).

Anyway, I got talking with Aaron and got to feel we really need a roadmap. Maybe even two: one for Calligra Desktop, one for Calligra Active. Then I sat down with Inge, Thorsten and Shantanu (because they were within let's-have-coffee grabbable distance) and came up with two short proposals.

I want to keep it simple and short, hence the short "goal" statements and the short task lists.

------------------------------

Calligra Desktop

GOAL: The 2.4 release of calligra will provide dependable editing of ODF documents with a simple, fun to use GUI.

Open tasks are

* Testing

    * Zagge: cstester automated testing on cruncher with reporting & roundtripping
    * Zagge: Officeshots on our server
    * Boud:  Squish for desktop testing

* User interface

    * Inge: create a list of all shapes/apps and what they should do on click (select, activate, send the click through to the tool or not)
    * Fixing the text tool widgets to work nicely
    * fix as many UI niggles as possible



Any other open tasks?

------------------------------

Calligra Active

After discussion with Shantanu, we arrived at:

GOAL: The first release of Calligra Active will be a capable, performant document, finger-friendly viewer for tablets that can pan and zoom smoothly and display office documents but not PDF. 

Open Tasks are:

    * integreation with the desktop search system for the documents overview page
    * include a presentation mode (needs some hacking in stage itself to reuse stage's presentation mode)
    * support search
    * support select
    * support copy
    
Long term goals are:
    
    * support PDF (use the search system for finding pdf docs, poppler for display)
    * support editing of text
    * support editing of graphics
