      • Global Payment platform

        Joomla need a global mechanism for payments. Payment Gateways should then be connected and be used for any type of extension. The current situation is a mess where a website might need several payment solutions to fill the needs of the website functions.
        Memberships, web shops, advertising, invoicing, subscriptions or whatever solution you have, should have a common payment mechanism to connect to any avaliable payment gateway.

        • Content from the Cloud

          Store data in the internet cloud and use that data as if it is core Joomla content. Easily create articles and embed content from the cloud. Provide a set of API's that enable JED developers to create Cloud extensions quickly.

            • Node Based Scheme

              As a CMS we need to provide two different levels of structures. Navigation and Content logic. The idea of the NBS is to provide a simple but easy structure that allows the admin to maintain his trees.

              The NBS must be available and open to the 3rd Party devs as well, as they should be able to add structures into the existing tree or build up their own trees easily.

              • Demo In Search Results

                The less clicks the better. It would be great to include the programmers demo link if available in the search result itself. It is so time-consuming to click on the program and then demo if available then try to find the demo within the programmer's site. It would be better to Search > Demo > Choose To Install or Not.

                • Native content management on front-end

                  as the 1.5 "FUAL" does: it will be a great goal. In this way an editoc can manage and delete articles, in the respect of ACL.

                  • Font Manager

                    When the web embedded font revolution kicks off, it would be cool if Joomla was first on scene to harvest the glory and allow its users to great magnificent looking webpages.

                    The Manager itself will provide a centralized way of keeping track of the fonts and allow J! core as well as 3rd-party extensions to pull the list of installed font and offer them in different settings (e.g. via the content editor).

                    • custom scrollbar

                      there should be a custom scrollbar for content. We dont want to use default ie or firefox scrollbar.. it sucks.

                            • Featured Articles manager "Finish Featuring" editable date column

                              A Chris guy has already suggested a "Finish Featuring" date field in the article options.

                              But, what I would like to see also, are two editable date (calendar field) columns in the Featured Articles manager. "Start Featuring" and "Finish Featuring".

                              When you set an article to feature, you must be prompted to feature immediately or select a start date.

                              The 2 columns in the Manager will help to quickly adjust the start and end date for all featured articles.

                                Joomla needs a way for users to easily visualize how modules will appear on various pages. Users could resize and drag all modules (while simultaneously viewing the content) in order to easily make changes, as in Artisteer.

                                • WRAPER

                                  Improve IN/OUTparameter passing between Joomla and external applications (which could be wraped into Joomla framework). Passing username, password, +other critical parameters would help integrate Joomla with hundreds of other SOAP apps.

                                  • Replace Ideas system (UserVoice) with Joomla extension!

                                    Replace the current system used here at idea.joomla.org with a Joomla extension (e.g. a customized version of obSuggest).

                                    That additionally to the UserVoice features:
                                    - Allow people to down vote a feature.
                                    - Report abuse.
                                    - Report duplicates.
                                    - Display the time a comment was submitted/modified.
                                    - Integrate with the other Joomla.org sites (single-sign-on).

                                    • How about a "save and next" button that goes to the next (menu item/article/category) in the list. Useful for editing many items in a row.

                                      This woulod be highly useful when having to edit large amounts of content/items. For example when you need to chage aliases, update metadata, add images, and the like.
