This is a rough list of topics we want to work on for Nextcloud 11. It lists the topic and a person who want to work on it and manage the tasks that are to be done. This is up to change and the exact specs are not set in stone now. Some of these are tiny, others are huge - we'll create issues to explain and expand on them the coming week.

If anybody is interested to help out for a specific topic just contact the listed person 😃 And of course if you want to work on something different: feel free to do so and add yourself to the list 😄

Pls be sure to add a issue number of PR link to what you do/did.

[BernhardPosselt]

Do we need to check off anything since you've added check boxes?

[blizzz]

@BernhardPosselt when it's done

[MorrisJobke]

@BernhardPosselt when it's done

Or when it's transferred into an issue ;)

[bonanza123]

Is there an approx. ETA?
As I couldn't find a milestone for NC 10, does it mean it will be skipped, i.e. directly from 9.x to 11?

[BernhardPosselt]

@bonanza123 10 is due in a few days to weeks

ETA is when it's done, but new releases usually take around 4-12 months

[jospoortvliet]

10 is planned for the week of 22-27 of August. 11 is December timeframe.

[Bugsbane]

I'd love to see more of these linked to issue numbers. I tried searching for a few to add myself, without much luck.

[jospoortvliet]

@Bugsbane that will be done this week - we largely have to create those issues still ;-)

[pierrejochem]

@blizzz sharepoint: will it be opensource? If yes, then I could support

[rullzer]

@pierrejochem yes

[pierrejochem]

@rullzer 👍

What about client side encryption?
Don't think it can be called secure, if a kernel/Apache vulnerability can reveal all clear data to an attacker.

You're welcome to help contributing to the client side encryption. Please also note that this ticket is not a "I wish features" list. For that one please create a new issue.
