How ‘bout an RSS feed? 
Maybe you can add that to the forcast.  lol

A feed is definitely in the plans, Mike, and not way down the road.  Might even have time for it today, but I wanted to get this published.

Great Idea Guys!

Don’t you guys know that the weather man is “always wrong” with the predictions? :p

Kidding aside, I’m looking forward to seeing this evolve 😊

Very happy to see this Ellis Labs!

So it’s a short list focused on the next 1-2 releases, which I think is fair and lets you not over commit yourselves. Will new items be added in bursts after each new release is had, or should we more expect the trickle?

Derek, to be honest I was prepared to be disappointed, want to be straightforward there, and it is only because the fog seemed never to lift, no matter how clear the need has been.

However, this Forecast is actually great, and feels also far-reaching, two directions that much appeal here:

1) Ellis is actually communicating, beyond the ‘we heard, and we aren’t ever going to be pushed into saying’ historic and become nearly catastrophic mode.

I don’t know what happened, but I am very glad for it, for us and for you.

2) The items. I almost can’t believe it. Each one of them represents important things that have been painful, hanging fire, overlooked, mis-directed—and critical to actual EE itself—which are finally and directly being addressed.

They are all centrally important points, and as described are not holding back in their accurate intents either, which I compliment equally.

You are even bringing Veerle back in to work up the visual design and its sensibility. That is terrific.

I am so pleased that there could be this movement, and I am very confident that the team can actually produce what is needed, now that it is grouped around and freed towards the goals.

Ok; I had a letter to write, and was concerned whether I could actually recommend EE. 

Now, I can.

Thanks to the team,
Clive

Guys, this is just wonderful. Thank you!

This looks great, thanks for putting it together.

show_full_control_panel_end - In Progress

Praise be to [applicable deity here]. That has been by some margin my biggest frustration with EE2 so far.

Really pleased to see this. 😊 Looking forward to see it grow.

Very cool!  Thanks for sharing this with us all

Thumbs up from me as well - the new communication strategy is looking good - every little helps 😊

show_full_control_panel_end - In Progress

Great!

But it seems that the definition of this item as

Developers need a way to add CSS and JavaScript to the control panel, without the baggage that came with the legacy show_full_control_panel_end extension hook, and without making an Accessory just for that purpose.

is too narrow. The hook “show_full_control_panel_end” was used to do many things, not only to add CSS and JavaScript to the control panel. It was used to add and to remove HTML code. Sometimes to add or remove items in CP by injecting a bit of CSS or Javascript isn’t approach powerful enough.

positive steps… thanks.

this is awesome.  Thank you!
