OpenACS Version 5.5 Agenda

Postgresql 8.3 support: especially regarding tsearch2
Documentation improvements as discussed at the Guatemala conference:

Make current openacs.org/test-doc source for static files included in the release and provide ease means to achieve this for the release manager

DONE (CVS HEAD): Provide in XoWiki an alternative table of contents by nested UL/LI (without JavaScript) for static output
DONE (CVS HEAD): Provide in XoWiki a prototype page similar to "book" without edit-buttons etc., using the new table of contents

Update openacs.org/test-doc where necessary (incomplete list):

DONE: Fix the page ordering for the higher chapters (the original document had no 3rd. level numbering)

update pages which are more recent in openacs/xowiki
bump version numbers of OpenACS, where appropriate (some places talk about openacs-5-0, others about openacs-5-1, oacs-5-2-3rc1 or 5-3)
some version numbers of the required components are quite a mess. e.g. some parts say that Postgres 7.3 is required, some examples talks about postgres 7.4.7 and 8.2.4 in the same listing.
also the dotlrn version numbers are old dotrln-2.0
Tcl version numbers should be 8.4.18
The install section for XOTcl is missing in II.3.4
remove ChangeLog from documentation
find some other priminent place for ChangeLog
Fix indenting in examples (e.g. in Rocael's robust web development framework)
overthink Win2000 guidelines. There are the native compiled packages from Maurizio, including everything from postgres, xotcl ....

It is desired to find a single person responsible for overworking the documentation, however, funding is inclear.

Future

Usability ("my account" page)
XHTML ?
Testing and documentation for recording automated tests using the firefox plugin and the upload feature for it new in automated testing. Probably needs some polishing and should be talked to with Quest who are getting into this.
Parameter Scope Patch http://openacs.org/bugtracker/openacs/patch?patch%5fnumber=845
Remove obsolete master template stuff (default and site master template in openacs-4/www, acs-subsite's group-master, and related CSS and images). Probably in the version which follows 5.5 (probably 5.6). Also remove the compat master stuff at the same time.
