Still not solved is the author problem. Author can submit article but cannot re-edit after saving...
Author cannot re-edit own article after saving. Self-created articles, not yet published anyway, should be re-editable by the creator.

Multiple Authors of a Single Article
It would be really cool if a article had the possibility of having multiple authors. I've searched all through the forums which many seem to be in support of this. Perhaps either a button "Add Another Author", or a simple comma to separate the usernames on the Article Owner list. This would make it so another user (author) could edit the article as well. This would then change the need to make all my users a editor which increases the security of people's content if this feature was added. And for those who do not want multiple authors for there…

Add teaser text and image to articles
Add teaser text and image to articles, and automatically scale the images to fit the template. This feature is often needed for many sites, and the frontpage is often used to display articles like a online newspaper (several columns, small image, a teaser text and link to full article).
Image handling is very important, so the user don't have to change the image in image editor before uploading.
Zoo and K2 is a great example of this feature, but it is overkill to use these extensions of only this feature.

Version filtering
When searching the Extensions Directory, I hope that I could filter the search when looking for extensions for 1.6 version only or 1.5 version only or whether the extension supports all version.

HTML5 Master Switch in Global Configuration
HTML5 is quickly being adopted by the design and development comunities.
Joomla! currently outputs xhtml in jdoc: head.
I suggest a master switch in global configuration that changes the head output to valid HTML5.
For example:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to <meta charset="utf-8">
<link href="/templates/{template}/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" /> to <link href="/templates/{template}/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/mootools-more.js"></script> to <script src="/media/system/js/mootools-more.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/templates/{template}/css/template.css" type="text/css" /> to <link rel="stylesheet" href="/templates/{template}/css/template.css">
Trailing slashes ( />) from link, img, input, br, hr, etc tags are no longer needed.
In the templates and forms:
email, password, number, range, color, date, month, week, time,…38 votes -

Integrated Migrator
Would it be possible to have an integrated migrator to pull content from earlier versions of Joomla, maybe during the installation process. It could potentially copy any necessary files, such as templates or other installed extensions, via FTP or some other mechanism.

Banners between articles on the frontpage
we seriosly need a core joomla solution for this, none extension can manage banners between articles on the frontpage (like a module position) because it can't be done with joomla and is needed for websites that are maintained by their own ad revenue like Radios or News websites.

PDF manager
Images are easy to put in to articles. I would like a feature just like that but for PDF files instead.
When editing an article, press document button, choose a document to upload to a specific folder, when done choose the document you like to link to. And then you have a PDF-icon with a title and a link to the document.
I know you can find extentions like it, but they are never that easy to use. I want it super user friendly. My editors dont have to be geeks to put a PDF into the article. Or other…32 votes -
