Roadmap of EAV and 2sxc - Vision of the Future

The 2sxc roadmap contains the things we think are fairly important to tackle next. Since we're all working for free, there is no commitment to do this in the order you see below. And sometimes a customer will need a feature quickly - and pay for it - then it will appear sooner. You too can sponsor a feature!

Apps / App Maintenance

Update most apps which used ephemeral variables for formulas to just use parameters (new in v14)
New Timeline Apps
New Files App

Priorities 2022 Q4 v14 / v15

New Stuf and Major Enhancements

Improve WYSIWYG
1. Sections to better allign images
2. Images which auto-resize based on size
Oqtane Theme release
Blazor / Oqtane CMS Website to demo functionality & features
CSP for Oqtane
1. It's partially done, but docs are missing
2. Unsolved aspect: collecting all necessary resources for CSP of pages not initially loaded
sxc-angular
1. Re-release sxc-angular and demo-app for it
2. Js Docs for sxc-angular
Review dropping _ prefix requirement on cshtml files by protecting them in an additional manner
1. It's not needed on Oqtane, as the files are not accessible
2. Only needed ATM on DNN because each file could be called from the browser directly
3. Probably make sure all base classes refuse to render standalone
OpenGraph system - probably requires rewrite of CSP-Stack
string-Dropdowns from many data sources like
1. CSVs
2. WebService
3. svg files icon-picker
New Icon-Dropdowns from other data sources for better icons-support without fonts
Create demo app with react
More public headless APIs and Demos
Oqtane Page/Module integration / use (also for notes etc.)

WIP / Ongoing Larger Projects / Enhancements

Language Editing Permissions based on roles/users
- Implemented v13 2022 Q1 but not in production, so probably not fully ready / tested / documented
Enable viewing read-only data / configuration to better discover options/features
- Implemented to ca. 70%, but shared data metadata can't be accessed in UI ATM
Provide more help UIs for using REST APIs
Make the Metadata-System completely discoverable
Standardize how to integrate into other systems (non-Dnn/Oqtane) (ca. 70% done)

ATM not really usefuly, because blazor is not run-time compiled yet, so development would be super difficult
nopCommerce integration
Review Orchard / Umbraco integration
In-Page direct upload / replacement of images
In-Page direct editing of texts
Possible side-by-side editing with live-preview
Multi-import apps (drop many) - probably patrons only
Import Export
1. Improve JSON import (language differences etc.)
2. Improve xml and app import (language differences, etc.)
App Update System (features to help migrate an App to a newer template)
1. Unclear how to do this, but probably needs some kind of compare/merge features
...or whatever is needed next :)
