Roadmap for 2.3?

Previously, the nop team had a draft roadmap for the next version of nopCommerce (at the time, 2.10), including an estimated release date.  Would you please provide same for 2.3?

(we had so much *fun* discussing it :)

I suspect 2.3 will be mostly bug fixes...

Go to the following page in order to find active work items http://nopcommerce.codeplex.com/workitem/list/advanced?keyword=&status=Active&type=All&priority=All&release=nopcommerce%2b2.30&assignedTo=All&component=All&sortField=Votes&sortDirection=Descending&page=0. And this page contains a list of already committed changesets.

But still thinking about mobile devices support in 2.30 release. This task can take up to several weeks. Maybe, it's better to release 2.30 with a lot of bug fixes and enhancements. And then dedicate 2.40 to mobile devices support.
ETA: middle of November (without mobile devices). beginning-middle of December (with mobile devices)

Sounds like you've decided against waiting for MVC4?

Some users wait for the existing bug fixes and other enhancements. If we decide to include mobile devices support in 2.30, then these users will have to wait several weeks more. But if you need mobile devices support only, then just don't upgrade to 2.30 and wait 2.40 (think about 2.30 as an intermediate release)

I think mobile devices are a real hot topic at the moment...   We are seeing trends of up to 15% from mobile traffic across all our sites.   Think this is an important roadmap item.  Having said that a few weeks extra to get in an interim update is probably as important.

is this moving too fast?
if nopcommerce has a standard development methodology or well documented API that can ensure existing plugins and templates are compatible with previous version, that would be better.
and i hope there will be a plugin/template management system just like wordpress one, can manage and upgrade installed plugin/templates seamlessly will be a great help.
these are the core of extensible system - people can reuse modules and designs

version release can be fast, but please ensure the plugins/templates are compatible, this is not only the responsibility of developers who writes the plugins/templates, it is actually more on nopcommerce team themselves, they play a more important part.

Andrei sir, any comments on 2.3 release date we have almost reached mid of November ?

I suggest you subscribing to our newsletter and you'll receive an email notification when it's released

Seeing all the "Preparations for 2.30 release" in the check-in suggests we're close :-)
