These are the ideas so far for sprint topics.  This does not mean we are going to be working on everything listed, just what people have sent along so far: 

1. Performance

• Minimal Zope 3, more granular zcml. e.g. publication factories etc. evtl. "feature" based. maybe zope.app.minimalzcmlfiles
• Lazy properties on transaction level, good for content provider pattern.

2. Templating

• Faster pagetemplates aka compiled templates (z3c.pt)
• C implementation?
• other templating implementations e.g. cheetah
• General HTML layout engine (death to main_template.pt) --- \malthe
  

3. ZMI

• Simple ZMI, without ZODB, process management etc only.

4. Storm - https://storm.canonical.com/

• Working on outstanding features for storm
• Lazy attributes
• Configurable table names for classes
• Array handling for postgres e.g. support @> <@ operators
• Zope integration issues
• Zope Storm object browser via introspection of storm classes

5. WIDGETS: OSX, VISTA, FLEX and AIR:

• Dataflow from Zope to Flex applications
• Opportunities for Flex applications within the AIR (Adobe Integerated Runtime) Environment
  
• Widget creation for existing portals within OSX, VISTA and the AIR Environment

6. Fields/Widgets:

• Zope 3/Plone widget/field redux

7. iPhone:

• Some work is being done on an iPhone skin

8. KSS and eventPush:

• Dr Jnut's made a proof of concept for a file upload widget with feedback information.
• Any other useful eventPush ideas?

9. Calendaring:

• Since Lennart (regebro) has recently released Dateable 0.1, it might be useful to put together a calendaring group to make another push forward on this bundle.

10. Bundle a alternative indexer for Zope/Plone:

The goal would be to be able to estimate when a third-party indexer is useful, and to provide to the community a read-to-run solution

1. to write all elements (or to gather existing ones) needed to use a third-party indexer in a zope 3 or plone 3 website:

• zc.buildout recipe
• text indexer replacement
• a python wrapper to easily run the indexer server and the indexation service

­2. to provide a buildout

3. to benchmark the results under jmeter

• compare the network loads
• figure out how the ZODB growth evolves

11. Zope 3 Video Transcoding:

Work with zope3 and video, e.g. to further develop transcoding with zope3 to be more flexible, handle  different systems, especially Compressor on Mac OS X (being able to drive large render clusters using XGrid and Compressor from Z3 and the Web).

A plugin system to drive other systems like turbo.264, flix would be needed as well.

 

12. Plone Dashboard Drag-n-Drop

mlango is a working drag-and-drop system and [Jean-Paul] would like to get that implemented for the dashboard only to start with.
If it works well, I'd like to take a shot at the portlets.

 

13. Spanky's Super-Secret Special Project

Ah! NOW you're interested, huh?  More info at the sprint.
