[Framework-Team] PLIPs for 3.1

[Martin Aspeli]

Hi team,

I'm submitting the following PLIPs for Plone 3.1. Some of these are 
work-in-progress, others I expect to work on over Christmas. There are 
no review bundles yet, but the PLIPs point to relevant branches where 
possible.

1. http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/184 - Ship additional portlets

This is actually raised by Jon Stahl, but I've been involved in the 
implementation of the portlets he's talking about (collection, static 
text, document rendering). I'd like to tidy up the portlets a bit 
(especially if the formlib PLIPs below are accepted and implemented). 
After that, this should be as simple as deciding to ship with a few 
extra eggs.

2. http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/200 - Kupu formlib widget

We need a Kupu/WYSIWYG widget for formlib-base forms. I'd like to thise 
this in portlets as well as formlib-based content types. The 
implementation here is largely complete.

http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/201 - Improved UberSelectionWidget

This is about AJAX-enabling the UberSelectionWidget. Andreas and Florian 
and I have started this work already - it just needs a bit more 
JavaScript love. Again, I'd like to use this widget in a few more 
portlets, content rules and formlib-based types.

3. http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/202 - KSS inline editing and 
validation for formlib forms

This is largely implemented, though it needs to be packaged up.

4. http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/203 - Manage portlet 
assignments with GenericSetup

This is about making it easier to set up portlet assignments in GS 
profiles. I have a design for this, but no code yet - I plan to work on 
it over Christmas.

5. http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/204 - Manage content rules 
using GenericSetup

This is quite similar to 203. Again, no code, but I know how to do it 
and hope to get it done for January.

Feedback welcome!
Martin
