2 Important
The ILIAS Feature Wiki is a documentation of the current ILIAS software development activities and a means to support the cooperative and open development process. It should clarify what is developed by whom, when and why. And it gives you an overview of what has been developed in former versions of ILIAS and what development activities are planned for the future.
With a regular user account for this ILIAS installation you are able to comment on existing feature pages as well as adding new feature requests (see information 'How to suggest a new feature?' below).
If you want the Jour Fixe to discuss and decide upon a feature request, please create a new entry in the data collection 'Suggestions for Jour Fixe Agenda' to apply for a slot in the agenda. Submission deadline is always one week before the next Jour Fixe.
If you want the Jour Fixe to discuss a bug report, please change the status of the report in Mantis to 'Needs Jour Fixe Decision'. All bug reports with this status will be treated in the next meeting » more
Every feature – already implemented or only suggested – has its proper wiki page. This is where the feature is presented, discussed and decided upon.
- Create a wiki page for the feature you want to suggest! Please follow the instructions on the page 'How to suggest a new feature. Best place to create the request is the category of the related component, e.g. Forum for an extension of the forum.
- Get into contact with the person that has the authority to make and accept conceptual changes in the related component and discuss your ideas.
- You also can apply for a workshop to clarify the concept and to prepare a promising feature request.
- If the feature request is complete and all necessary information is added, you can apply for discussing and scheduling your feature at the Jour Fixe. To do this, please fill out the form "Suggestions for Jour Fixe Agenda". Submission deadline is always one week before the next Jour Fixe.
