Support/Kitsune Milestones

2.0: Search

We will start with migrating some independent low risk items and the associated infrastructure.

Our initial plan is to prototype these items in Django.

• Search UI: none of the back end or indexing work.
• This does not require migration of users, will require some migration of templates, and understanding of Tiki sessions
• Develop user migration plan
• Develop deployment plan

Timeline

• 5 weeks of development including associated tests
• Mid term review at 3 weeks to see if we are on track, what else we need, review scope, etc [done]
• 2 weeks QA
• Started week of Feb 8
• Due for completion March 15 initial estimate, second estimate March 22
• Review: planned week of March 1, actual March 10
• Aim for deployment in April

Interlude

• Review plans and timeline based on what we learned in Milestone 1 [done]

2.1: Discussion forums

The "dicussion" forums are the contributor forum and the off-topic forum.
