Sorry for my disappearing this week, been a bit crazy (I didn't get away
from work until 1am last night, and 11pm today).
So Zikula 2 is our long term, major change developmental branch. We're
moving to a fully object oriented codebase, reducing code size while keeping
functionality and improving performance. Along the way we should pick up a
few features. But, by its nature, development of Zikula 2 is a pretty slow
process, so we're talking 1 year plus before I predict it hitting stable.
The good news is we maintain backwards compatibility in our APIs and so on,
so all the modules we set up now should work fine.
In the case of pagemaster, they are including the library precisely because
Zikula 2 is so far off. When it gets nearer (probably release candidate
stage), there will be a new version of pagemaster without the FilterUtil
library bundled.
Sorry for missing the meeting, but thanks for sending me this email direct
so I saw it :)
Simon

Subject: Zikula questions at this week's Marketing meeting
Toshio had some questions about some of the module packages (context
pasted below).
<abadger1999> mchua: So for the secondary package (pagemaster) -- I'm
not happy approving it with the bundled filterutils
<abadger1999> mchua: I've been trying to catch itbegins on irc to ask
him about when zikula2 will be out/whether we can upgrade to that in
FI/EPEL or if it's incompatible, etc.
<abadger1999> mchua: There are cases where other packages had contained
backports -- but to things from the Core language (python stdlib stuff
is what I'm thinking) not to addons.
<abadger1999> mchua: Anyhow -- If someone else wanted to review and
approve that module, we'd want to make sure that it used the zikula-2
library i available and the backport if not... but I'm not sure how to
do that in php.
Simon, in case you see this in the next 50 minutes - were you planning
on coming to the Fedora Marketing meeting today? I'm going through the
agenda now and it looks like FI should be most of it. (If not, no
worries, I'll keep logistics up to date on zikula and marketing up to
date on FI, and keep chasing these answers down.)
