WPKG roadmap for 2008

If you have new ideas - please discuss it on the mailing list first.


Fixing existing bugs or feature requests

Fix bugs listed in Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.wpkg.org. Some of the bugs are ideas really, so please feel free to comment on them (or vote for them etc.).


Documentation

Write a proper documentation manual. Right now, documentation is in tiny little bits (different functionalities described on different pages). It isn't necessarily bad - but it isn't very friendly to new users.

New documentation should be an A to Z WPKG manual, with chapters, subchapters etc.


WPKG Client

  • add support for 64 bit Windows systems - see http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93
  • make WPKG Client window fit on 640x480 screen resolution - see http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90
  • restarting the service locally from within the wpkginst.exe
  • restarting the service on remote machines from within the wpkginst.exe
  • possibility to enable more debugging:
    • how long each part executed (-pre, -post, wpkg.js etc.)
    • exit code of each part
    • possibility to log into a file
  • some more integration with wpkg.js: wpkg.js should be able to pass information to WPKG Client:
    • start selected installers with GUI (some installers break if not started with a GUI) - seems to be very complicated, and wpkg.js was already started in the background
  • testing setting: providing "user" for a network path doesn't work; one needs to add DOMAIN\user or WORKGROUP\user. "Test" button will say that the settings are correct even when we don't specify DOMAIN\ or WORKGROUP\ though.
  • parse output of wpkg.js (STDOUT) and display programs which are being installed

Developers

  • use SVN for commits
  • all regular contributors should have a SVN account
  • write a short SVN usage for contributors
