WHERE ARE WE ?
after about 6 months
Technical
Cloud Storage / ElasticSearcH
- Status
- available since 5.9.3
- backported for 5.8
- first real life test in progress for EA
- Gains
- make queries scale
- faceted search
- WIP
- Some remaining infrastructure work
- Leverage ES features
- aggregates / facets ...
Scale with Elasticsearch
keep in mind this is optimum use case : API call
CloudStorage - Mongo DB
-
Status
- alpha version for MongoDB World
(on Nuxeo 5.9.4) - Gains (expected)
- Scale on large repositories, especially for Write intensive apps
- WIP
- lot of infrastructure work is still to be done
- adapt Nuxeo Core persistence model
- move code out of DB and share recursive code
- manage recursive operation via Map Reduce
- real life testing & benchmarks
Web APP SDKs
- new REST API is here since 5.8
- we already have some feedback on what needs to be fixed
- API playground is available
- first experience with Dart/Polymer/WebComponents
- JavaScript Client is available
- NodeJS and JavaScript (jQuery)
- Angular SDK
- we have some first projects (nuxeo.io, Sharp)
- we need to package the SDK + doc
WEB APP SDKS - WIP
- Finish / Polish API and SDK
- integrate feedbacks from projects (NXRoadmap-211)
- integrate Workflow (!)
- write more documentation
- code templates
- Integrate UI meta-model
- use Layouts and ContentViews in JS Applications
Mobile SDK
- iOS SDK is available
- first client application (Sabre)
- demo application (available on AppStore)
- Android SDK is in the same state since 2012
- Next steps
- align iOS and Android SDK
- work on demo applications
Nuxeo PAAS
-
after several tentatives we finely defined a target
- Docker + CoreOS + Fleet + Go ...
- most infrastructure components are brand new
-
first beta in progress
- we have a good timing for Docker/CoreOS
-
online trial will be available in 2 weeks
Nuxeo PaaS - WIP
-
Nuxeo.io
- solidify and stabilize infrastructure
- extend packaging model
- Arken
- put some code inside Arken
- write documentation
Infrastructure update
- UI Layer upgrade to JSF2
- upgrade is in progress
- merge ASAP
- Nuxeo Runtime upgrade
- some cleanup work
- no major work started for now
Functional
Studio Productivity
- Automation improvements
-
Code mirror + NXQL suggestions
- Easier navigation between Studio objects
- branches management
- Studio Application Templates Improvements
Backoffice features layout update
- Going to 6.0:
Webapp layout nearly didn't change since the start,
some evolutions are required NXROADMAP-183
- Hierarchical / Search vs DAM/DM
- Quick documents lists access panel
- Review creation of content (use DAM one)
- Merge all what is user centric in the same place
- Switch easily on any view between thumbnail mode/ listing mode
Search Experience
- Leverage what we already have in infrastructure
- Slideshow on DAM
- Provide a mean to search by mime-type
- Prev/Next on the document
- Remove advanced search
-
Allow column selection on any result view
- Leverage new feature provided by elasticsearch
- Facets and aggregations
Bulk documents actions
- Collections service
- "select all" on a ContentView
- Integrate handsontable for bulk edit
Nuxeo Drive
- Easier install / auto update
- Improve presence on desktop
- notifications
- fs decoration
- Live Edit replacement
Workflow
- Features
- One task per group member
- Automated delegation
- Better control on who can delegate/re-assign
- A new node for “external message”
- Parameterized automation chains calls
- Infrastructure
- Improve performances and automated clean up
So, are we good ?
at least, we are not bad
We have made good progress
-
All infrastructure tasks have been started
- and have already visible results
- We know where we are going
- we know we can make it
- we know how to do it
But we have to finish
- Test, package, document
- otherwise no-one can see what we have done
- Make everything consistent
- otherwise maintenance will be an issue
- Leverage the new possibilities offered
- make the changes visibles
About next steps
-
Storage
- finish uniformize the new storage layer
- redesign how we manage tree processing
- Apps SDK
- Start plugging Layout and AngularJS
- Move forward on Polymer toolbox
let's start more project son pure html5/js
About next steps
-
Nuxeo.io
- solidify and stabilize infrastructure
- extend packaging model
provide a nice trial experience
- Infrastructure
- provide more customization tools (Code Envy?)
- better testability
make nuxeo development easier and faster
