Roadmap

WackoWiki is a non-commercial, all volunteer, Open Source project, and as such there is no formal list of feature requirments required for development. That said, there is an informal list of items that have been agreed upon by the WackoWiki developers as things that need to worked upon, known as the TODO list. Items on the list can be marked as completed in development, "claimed" by a developer and being activly worked on, or unmarked meaning that the item is likely not being activly worked on. Team members work on WackoWiki when they want to at their own speed.
So any future development depends on the contributions that will be made by its user community. Certainly working patches have a greater chance to become realized quickly than feature requests, but please don't hesitate to submit your suggestions to our issue tracker.

The following features are planned to be implemented in a future version:

R5.0.x

This version is not compatible with PHP 5.4 or greater!
Fixing possible migration and upgrade issues from 4.x to 5.0, the 5.0.x development branch is reserved mainly for this purpose.

R5.5

-> testing and debugging

~~migrate actions and handlers to use the new template engine~~ DONE
fixing session related POST issues
Open Items for R5.5.
Release notes for R5.5.

R5.6

rewrite and reimplementation of WackoFormatter
address GUI and usability issues
add support for Prepared Statements
add template guide
improve and migrate themes

R7

https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php

drop MyISAM support
Unicode Support -> PHP 8
- The lack of Unicode support in PHP remains a serious problem, but at least we’re no longer nursing a dying animal (PHP 6) in the vain hopes of making it work when the entire surrounding situation has changed. This opens the door for new ideas on how to fix the issue.
  - http://www.slideshare.net/andr[...]to-unicode-and-php-6
- unicode in database (utf8mb4)
- UTF8 support for both SQL and HTML
- Unicode (UTF-8) with PHP 5.3, MySQL 5.5 and HTML5

page edit by sections / Section Editing
new edit handler
refactoring
- we load too much code that we don't really need, the code needs restructuring to improve
  1. Move items not related to the core of the wiki out of class/wacko.php (ie. Forms, Users, DB, Referrers, Comments, etc.). The core should only be for loading actions, handlers, formatters, etc. All of these items should be offloaded into autoloading plugins. (?)
