This is a list of editor improvements planned for ILIAS 10.

This will probably result in a smaller number of editor developments being implemented with this release.

3 Additional Information
4 General Discussion
Please discuss specific questions of feature requests on the related feature wiki pages. This discussion section is only for a general discussion of the project and its realisation.
JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 21 FEB 2022: Samoila, Oliver [oliver.samoila] presented the project at the Big Projects Jour Fixe and answered questions.
- Relevance for strategic ILIAS development: Content creation within the system important for ILIAS; continuation of developments started since 7
- Plan for ILIAS 9: see project page
- Chance of realisation: financially good; personnel: depends on workload Alexander Killing. Is important for maintainer and he gives project therefore high priority!
- Dependencies: no dependencies on other developments, but needs further KS elements
- Impact on other development activities: No impact on other developments
Statement Technical Board, 2022 Apr 6: With this proposal, the Page Editor revision enters its third iteration since the initial push with ILIAS 6. The project will certainly involve many people, but only a few of them maintainers. We would be very happy if very concrete goals are formulated and implemented here for ILIAS 9 and if after the completion of this iteration the "revision" is finished or the work is continued in a taskforce. From a product-strategic point of view, the editor is of course a critical tool for content creation and therefore deserves a lot of attention. We thank you very much for this contribution.
Statement UX/UI/A11y-Experts, 2022 Apr 6: The editor is not accessible yet and from a user perspective quite a few issues are still open so that the general appearance is inconsistent for them. This leads to some confusion. This important next step will allow us to considerably streamline the experience. We already see the need to further pursue this project with ILIAS 10.
