• Jahia Roadmap

The Jahia Team is really excited to give you here a better view on our future roadmap and upcoming improvements.
Our strategy of multi source Content management has never been so true as we are now completing the progressive full JCR standard integration.

Started 2 years ago and progressively delivered release after release with full content backward capability, this evolution will extend the v6 with powerful additional and complementary features, modules and user interfaces.

In the Jahia v6.0 release, part of Jahia’s managed content had already been moved to the JCR, as was for example the case for files or portlet instances. We also made a great improvement by externalizing content definitions that are now compliant with a JCR-centric evolution. We have now achieved the final step of this move for all other content types, so that users can store any type of content created within Jahia inside the connected content repository (Apache JackRabbit): content, users, groups, categories, files and pages.

The Jahia data model has been extended to allow you to work in a decoupled environment: this means you can manage content independently of its presentation on a "page" in a simplier way. This opens the door to users and groups workspaces for all content (and not only for "files" as it is possible in the Document Management Module).

All content types can be managed in the new JCR management UI, which also allows you to manipulate versioning and metadata, whereas the presentation is managed by Jahia front-end with our well-known in-site page editing and navigation creation interfaces.

It also means that all content objects can be assembled as desired, grouped together and/or requested using XPath stored queries and linked to rules, as it was possible for files since the Jahia v6. In addition, and for all content stored in the JCR, it is now possible for content objects that do not share the same content definitions to coexist in a same page. Yet you can still restrict a list to one or several object types if you need to.

In order to leverage this new extended JCR capabilities, an additional page rendering service has been developed allowing multiple views for each JCR stored content .This means you will be able to apply "views" on any content, based on rules or according to the editor’s choice using a dedicated GUI. The new page rendering service is fully REST compatible. You may now access all Jahia content (JCR nodes) and manipulate it in a very standard and transparent way, using standard REST URLs. It also means that it becomes much easier to retrieve content from external systems or websites using REST calls. Last but not least, it means that projects that need strong Web 2.0 user interaction will be able to implement these features on Jahia very quickly!

In addition to new interesting features (ie: Cloud environment integration and new functional modules and applications), this new flexibility available for content stored in the JCR is impressive, considering the benefits from a page building standpoint as well as new capabilities for the future in-site / in-context editing interface you will be able to enjoy very soon.

Leveraging this additional backend extension, we are really proud to show you in a near future, how Jahia is a perfect cross-repository and multiple content types / sources management architecture to build rich Composite Content Application as well as complete  intranets, extranets portals and website factory projects.

So, in conclusion, you will find below a list of the major projects (enhancements / evolutions and new developments) we are currently working on. This roadmap is only for your information and may be modified according to Jahia Team and community / customers ideas (remember our Sustainable License model for Jahia EE).

Do not hesitate to send your comments (Jahia Forums) as we would like to share more than our code with you and as always, we like to hear from you and receive your feedback.
