This is a rough list of topics we want to work on for Nextcloud 12. 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.

[schiessle]

I removed "next generation federated sharing" because this was added for 11 like "yeah, webdav mounts need to be faster, that could be better,..." but no real specific task. Features/Improvements planed for a version should be more specific.

[jancborchardt]

I also added the small release review polishing items (leftovers from #2134 & #735). We shouldn’t just forget them in the closed issue but already make sure we polish early. :)

[Spartachetto]

I wonder if the exclusion from the above list of the leftovers from #1465 is voluntary.

Consider that one of the issues (#2512) should be ready to merge!

[jancborchardt]

@Spartachetto #1465 is scheduled for Nextcloud 12 as you can see from the milestone. :)

[masteranalyze]

Any plans to integer amazon cloud drive and one drive microsoft as external storages in the coming next cloud 12?

Alot of things are added witch is very good,but it`s seems to missing very importantly external services providers implementation and implementation with joomla ,wordpress for easily share for example 1000 photos all togheter.

[AMDG2]

Is there any plan to improve federated cloud id management ? I suggested an algorithm to avoid id like [email protected]@nextcloud.mydomain.ltd in issue #782.

[MorrisJobke]

@jospoortvliet Something for the release notes: #3151 Maybe add a note that developers should check their app and maybe add a nice looking icon (like in nextcloud/twofactor_u2f#31)

[ariselseng]

I really hope chunked uploading in the web ui will come in NC12.

[violoncelloCH]

it would be nice to have some kind of backup service for nextcloud to automatically push a backup to a remote server (maybe through rsync?)...
maybe for NC13?

[MorrisJobke]

@karlitschek I went through all the items in the list above and either moved them in a separate ticket, fixed them or checked if they are fixed.

This list is now completely done. 🙌

[karlitschek]

super awesome :-)
