  1. More Intuitive Menu System

    The current menu system is powerful, but difficult. Make it easier to assign modules to particular pages!

    Current System: user must set up menus, then point modules at menu items.

    Proposed System: user simply assigns modules to specific articles.

          • Clean/Clear Extention Install

            Before an EXT install it would see if there are going to be errors (i.e., search db, folders, etc.) Then it tells you there may be errors and what to fix. Also, the option to wipe an old install complete, then install this vers.

            I think a install tracker would be smart. If you need to do a total uninstall, it would take a snapshot file and replace your old stuff.

            • CDN autoconfig

              Would be nice to have core integrated features for CDNs as it would probably enhance big sites webmasters and rise up potential speed of Joomla!

              • Link Author to his profile.

                The Author name in article should link to his profile page and only the profiles that are set visible to public should be shown to public. By default, registered users should be able to view profiles of every author but there should also be parameters to restrict access to certain profiles.

                • Migration of Mootools dependencies and tools to Jquery

                  Actually we have a lot of stuff in joomla running under Mootools: user registration, forms validations, article submission, send mails and more...

                  Switch to Jquery 2.0 would let a lot of fresh young developers to see Joomla to a really good and flexible cms to work with. In fact Jquery superiority in terms of community, ease, market share and convenience is indisputable.

                  Also, Bootstrap and the best plugins out there are coded in Jquery, so there not going to need to overload sites with different frameworks, or no-conflict stuff.

                  Anyway I think that this may be under review. Since joomla…

                      • Managable HTML5 components or extensions.

                        While HTML5 is evolving, I'd like to see components or extensions based on HTML5 replacing picture banners, flash or silverlight animations.

                              • A way to not rely on template to decide your module positions, like xoops!

                                A way to not rely on template to decide your module positions, no need to create positions anymore, like xoops!
                                Really frustrating when you have to creat the position for photoslide for ex...
                                Instead of it you just have to choose where it gonna be!
                                right, left, center right, center left, center!

                                • Module Manager, in the pages column, make the text a link that opens a lightbox and lists specifically which pages the module is assigned to

                                  Module Manager enhancement. In the pages column, make the text a link that opens a lightbox and lists specifically which pages the module is assigned to.

                                  This will streamline the slow process of learning a new template, a Joomla site built by another developer, or perhaps a site that you built a while back and don't remember all the details.

                                      • Renew the modalbox

                                        The squeezebox is a nice tool, but not contemporary. I think LightFace (David Walsh) could be a better alternative

                                        • Display template css automatically as editor styles

                                          Incorporate a WYSIWYG connector so custom template CSS automatically appears in the editor as style choices.
