At the WUC I unveiled the path for the remainder of WebGUI 7.x. Now I'd like to share that with those who weren't in attendance. These are the things that I think will be in 7.6 or 7.7. As usual, schedules and needs change, so don't anticipate a feature until it's there.

I spoke about the continued improvement to the WebGUI administrative interface as we get closer to WebGUI 8. The two main things will be to make the asset manager even faster by adding even more ajax calls, and enhancing the search to have even more options so you can search based upon who created an asset, or how big it is. We'll also be adding a new New Content menu, which has categories. That should make it easier to find your way through the New Content menu.

We'll also continue to improve the shop by adding Pay Pal and USPS support. We may even add a point of sale mode to the shop for in-person sales.

The gallery will get some image editing features (crop, rotate, resize, and maybe annotate). And we might even add a video plugin to the gallery.

Next we'll completely rewrite the Matrix and Survey assets, to bring them up to date with modern techniques and user expectations.

And finally we'll be building a new asset called Story Manager, which will make publishing static content and news oriented sites much easier in WebGUI.

You can read all about these changes, and see some screen mockups in the roadmap. And as always, I'll update the roadmap periodically through-out the year as things change.
