Roadmap Category

Roadmap

Since Categories are Containers you might look for the ROADMAP of the Container service, since it tackles relevant issues that also apply for other container components.

Short Term

  • Add PRIVACY.md

Mid Term

  • Improve DI handling
  • Factor business logic out of UI classes
  • More unit tests
  • Add PRIVACY.md
  • Strengthen the internal service structure

 

Roadmap Repository

Roadmap

Short Term

  • Favourites interface is a quick solution for 6.0 and should finally be discussed in Jour Fixe.

Mid Term

Refactoring Deletion / Trash Process

The deletion process should be organised in decent service business logic class. Currently the ilRepUtil holds this code in static methods. The process is vulnerable against errors in the object type specific deletion methods. If these methods fail, objects may remain in the trash, even if deactivated, see https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=35943

Listing Panels

The repository container should use Listing Panels and Deck of Cards consistently, see Container Roadmap.

Favourites and Common Repository Item Actions

With ILIAS 6 the "Add to Desktop" feature is relabeld as "Favourites". It might be better to group this service together with other common actions on repository objects (copy, paste, ...). These actions should get a better common interface in the future.

Long Term
