Roadmap to 7.x-1.0 (User Relationships)

This is a good question. Let's make this is a roadmap issue.

Alpha

There are some refactorings which I'd like to see done before a first alpha release.

-#728552: Send private message to all friends
-#990422: Move root module to main directory for D7 port
-#1103978: Move admin UI to user_relationships module

Actually, it's really only the second one but the first has a patch that should be almost ready and would be rather hard to re-roll.

So you can help by testing the patch there and then we can continue with the second one.

Beta

Second, for the beta, I plan to focus on UI/Permissions improvements, I've created a few issues to investigate, I'm sure there will be more:
- #1099394: Revisit usage of vertical_tabs in relationship type form
- #1099398: Use #states system to simplify relationship type form
- #1099406: Convert role permissions settings into permissions
- #1051812: Views integration: Display username/realname for "Requestee user" and "Requester user" fields
- #1102470: Clickable and sortable column headers for the relationship tables
- #1102472: Make local tasks on /relationships pages configurable
- #1102490: Improve display of user pictures
- #1102476: Revamp relationship listings
- #1103458: Remove columns from relationship type list
- #1104598: Rethink Permissions and Visibility of relationships
- #1108512: Private message integration: Create permission for each relationship type
- #1108520: Private message integration: Sending to one-way relationship types (differentiate between relationship direction)
- #1116010: Add UR elaborations permissions
- #1115998: Revamp core and UI permissions
- #1115956: Revamp relationship type name display

RC

Third, an RC, which focuses on fixing bugs (Bugs should be in every phase, obviously) and freeze the UI, API and texts as far as possible.

Stable

At last, if there are no important bugs remaining, we can go stable.

Additionally, all bugs should be fixed before a stable version, but these are not specifically tracked here, see http://drupal.org/project/issues/user_relationships?categories=bug&versi... for a list of all open bugs.

As always, please do not post here about bugs, features you'd like to see and so on. Create separate issues or use already existing ones.

Added the issues from BenK to the Beta list, so that we can track the progress :)

Als updated the title.

Some of the outstanding issues are pretty big and there might be an opportunity to get out a scaled back 1.0 release candidate out soon.

A stable 1.0 for 7 with feature parity to 6.x-1.0 seems very close.

Any thoughts?

Inspiration from http://webchick.net/node/89

Updating Title so it is more informative when seen in activity display on Dashboard.
That also lets me feel less guilty about "sub +1"

Went through an tagged a few more open bugs that seem problematic enough to prevent a stable release.

User Relationship Stable Blockers

If we are aiming for something that is feature stable for the 1.0 then I say we should definitely squeeze in what we can now and not scale back too much.

I just had assumed the module would be following the typical contrib path of playing fast and loose with new features, but I'm all for introducing a little more predictability into that process here.

Be like G+, No ! Because my client does not like this feature but have the abbility to do it... yes why not ! Having it like an option could be an idea...
