An updated Initiative official page

The official page of our initiative has been updated and completed with these two headings: Roadmap and Code of Conduct.

The rhythm and the direction

As promised, the Initiative members have been building a deliverables roadmap over the last few weeks. You can discover it on the Structured Content Initiative official page. It details the different deliverables, the necessary tasks and the teams and members who are responsible for them. This roadmap is supposed to evolve over time.

At the end of February, Claus proposed to the Initiative a new "nested grids" feature for the version 10. As the feature freeze was on February 25th and the LTS release will happen on April 21st, we decided that it wouldn’t be wise to introduce this feature into the LTS release. A grid system feature, along with other deliverables, is planned and scheduled in the roadmap.

Wherever possible for a deliverable, we will use an extension as a feature MVP, developing with UX concepts first, within a real agile process of iterations. By being compatible with TYPO3 version 10, the extension iterations will be testable by as many people as possible, and we will benefit from valuable feedback.

First results of the survey

A dedicated article will be published soon with the detailed full results of the survey, but we wanted to give you some spoilers :)

With time and perseverance, we managed to get enough answers from profiles that are not specifically developers (more than half of the respondents). This was very important to us because our initiative is responsible for features that will benefit both technical and non-technical profiles.

Our user panel is mostly older than 30 and has been working with TYPO3 for more than 5 years:
