Steve and I had a very good meeting this morning to plan a 'roadmap to the roadmap'. The purpose was to make a plan for what to do in the vert short term in order to be able to publish a roadmap to release KNotes. Our hope is to be able to release a very stable, fast and feature-complete version within a month or two, but we need to do the analysis and scheduling very closely to be sure.

We reviewed a lot of issues. Most of them were quite small and straightforward to schedule ( if perhaps time-consuming in their plenitude :O) Some issues we identified as being big enough to require careful analysis before we can know how long they will take or whether they are realistic pre-release goals. These we decided to work hard on over the next week, and then review the scheduling implications when we are freshly familiar with the details.

• Javascript / PSWin for discussing and editing: repair, enhance or ditch
• basic top-level discussion views: need better plain-html views for discussion
• javascript enhanced discussion views: but we are close to having very convenient discussion interactivities
• user-profiles: we need sweet interfaces to give a sense of community, presence and portfolio to KNotes (and thus to Plone :O)

The first three items we need refreshing on because no-one has touched them since January. The fourth - user profiles - we have not yet done any coding for, but have been doing much background research in the past few weeks. Watch this space for more news as we get to know these issues in detail (again).
