Hi all,

I have just released Products.Poi version 1.2.7.  After that I have
created a 1.2 maintenance branch for bug fixes.  Trunk is open for new
development and it may be dangerous territory.

I have cleaned up the Poi roadmap on plone.org and added some new
roadmap items for the 1.3 release (providing I will call that 1.3 and
not 2.0).  See http://plone.org/products/poi/roadmap

Since the number one use case for Poi is to be the issue tracker for
third party products on plone.org, it is good to talk about plans
here.

Plans for Poi 1.3 are:

- Cleanup:

  - get rid of the last traces of old-style responses (done just now;
    well, the PoiResponse class is still there to avoid broken
    objects when the migration is not done yet.)

  - get rid of python skin scripts

  - get rid of the old Extensions/Install.py and go fully to GenericSetup

- Support Plone 4.0. If we still support Plone 3 this will probably at
  least be 3.3.

And the only thing that might be a bit controversial:

- No longer give manager of a tracker the local Manager role, but a
  new TrackerManager role with less rights.  Plus migration to give
  local Managers the TrackerManager role instead.

See anything wrong with this?

More details are on the roadmap page at
http://plone.org/products/poi/roadmap

Are you missing anything in Poi that would be good to have in a new
version?  Are you irritated by Poi bahaviour and perhaps not using it
because of that?  Tell me.
You can also have a look at the deferred proposals in the
roadmap, and at the postponed issues in in the tracker at
http://plone.org/products/poi/issues

Feedback and assistence is welcome here or on the roadmap or in the
issue tracker!

Cheers,

--
