this deja nu benefactor stuff should come with tylenol.....

now to the serious part of the post..       why does the core team spend more time defending actions and explaining the forum users are not benefactors...than simply updating the roadmap????   why is simplicity overlooked? 

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/118/threadid/157463/threadpage/1/scope/posts/Default.aspx

I would think in the last 4 days..   and instead of the above post which had to take some time to create and edit and run through pr ...    that the roadmap could be updated..  and everyone would know what the benefactors have requested and we are going to get.

It's obvious..  that a number of features have been worked on for 4.6 yet they are secret...   I don't understand the secrecy.   Is it because somebody paid for it and they asked for secrecy?

Enhancement Suggestions, suggestion/question.

1.  Are any of the suggestion on the suggestions page being considered for a relatively soon release..  next 3 months?

2.  If you know Content Versioning is not going to happen now..  maybe it should be closed with CT comments saying such...   otherwise, people are voting then when prodded you come on and say, sorry you are not getting that..  which I take to mean not this year at all.

Brian did you even check the roadmap before posting your comments?  The roadmap was updated early this morning to reflect the features we expect to add for this release.  I also had a blog in the middle of being edited which I have since posted.

What I don't understand Brian is why you are upset that we have spent time answering a user's valid question?  Why do you feel that answering Philipp is unworthy of our time?  The roadmap was posted, a blog was in progress and Philipp had a legitimate question.

As I recall, we have discussed many of these features accross several blog postings, and a half a dozen forum threads going back several months.  Items will be in various states of development and it is only in the final month or so that we know whether a feature will be in a given release.

To you specific questions:

1.  Are any suggestions being considered?  Yes...   In the next 3 months.  Nobody knows.  We have not scoped any release beyond 4.6.  Several of these features are being worked on by core team members who volunteer their time.  The feature will be complete when they get it done.  As they get closer to completion then we will know whether or not it will be in a given release.  That is just the nature of Open Source.  Features that I know are currently in various stages of development:  Workflow, Localization, Accessibility, XHTML Compliance, Upgrade handle web.config changes, Friendly URLs.  A couple of these are tentatively slated for 4.6 but most are not yet ready and will come after that.

2.  I do not know when content versioning will happen but I have not said and it is a mis-characterization to say that "you are not getting that".  It could be in the next major release after 4.6 or it could be 6 months from now.  People who are voting are providing feedback which is used when determining priorities.  But those votes do not take into account the level of effort it takes to implement a feature.  So we will continue to ask for feedback and will continue to work on the feature until such time as we have the resources and time to complete the feature.

How soon the SSL enhancement is forgotten?

Seems to me that was a DIRECT response to community feedback. Workflow/Versioning is just not as straightforward to implement.

I much prefer methodical planning and forethought (thank you core team), than shoot from the hip code updates :).
