5.0 Roadmap Update (was Volunteer "todo" list...)

[Steve Lime]

The silence on the release manager question is defening... ;-) 

I had intended to lump the bugs you reference in the "thread-safety
improvements" line under performance. I don't know if it's worth listing
other bugs (beyond those already referenced) or if we should just
reference a search in bugzilla with a target of 5.0. Using bugzilla
reduces redundancy.

One area I had thought about adding to the roadmap would be a section
about breaking backwards compatability. For example, TRANSPARENCY =>
OPACITY and, possibly changes related to the MINSCALE/MAXSCALE keywords.
I assume there are other possibilities too that should be captured in
one place. That would make writing a migration document easier.

With regards to IRC were you refering to the MapScript/Swig issue
specifically or broader 5.0 development?

Steve,

We should open up a 'very important bugs to be fixed' section
somewhere in the document and the folks could make it complete just as
they please. I would  start with proposing to fix

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1743 

and all the related ones:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1841 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1400 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=880 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358 

for the other SWIG languages as C#.

We should possibly start a series of IRC sessions to decide about the
importance of
the issues and the details about the solutions.
Who will be the release manager?


Best Regards,

Tamas
