Brainstorming:New features

What features which require a radical change do you miss most?

What standards do we want to support?

What parts of the current architecture cause the biggest problems?

What components do you imagine for TYPO3 5.0?

Brainstorming:Teamwork

How can the workload be distributed?

How should teams be structured?

How should we communicate?

How do we stay motivated?

Results:Teamwork

Small teams (3-7 members)

Teams reflect what we develop

Team communication interfaces =code API interfaces

Don‘t rely on single

persons -

share the work!

Well communicated team

structures and work results

Frequently change thecoordinator of a team

Tree structur

teams and sub t

eams

Document goals andteam history / culture

Development principles

Iterative development

No big jump, but realistic steps with intermediate results

Small steps and frequent results ...

keep us motivated

allow for adjusting the direction based on our experiences

provoce cleaner code and architecture by frequent refactoring

Development principles

Upfront recycle design and radical refactoring

Upfront design for data model and related components

Recycle code from 4.x for the initial components

Radically refactor the new components: Iterate between adding functionality and refactoring

Use clean and dirty code

Start with clean code based on clean concepts for fundamental changes

Start with dirty code based for a working prototype

Development principles

100% innovative, 0% backwards compatible

Be free from constraints of earlier TYPO3 versions

Define the soul of TYPO3 and make sure to keep it

Develop a migration path for essential parts (e.g. content). Develop the migration path already during the development of 5.0
