Issue Tracker

The team works from the "Search and Discovery (SEARCH)" project at http://issues.alfresco.com.

 

The public can raise issues in the ALF project at http://issues.alfresco.com, and they will be linked into the appropriate project during triage.

 

Subscribers to Alfresco support should report issues through the Alfresco Support Portal, so that they can be properly tracked and escalated.

 

Road Map

We are still working on publishing a road map.

 

Customers can escalate feature requests through Alfresco Support.

 

Architecture

The Enterprise Edition product is built on top of the Community Edition core.

 

We are also working on releasing the test framework and test cases for the features included in the open source module.

 

We are working on documenting the architecture.

 

Contribution Guidelines

Contributions should be submitted as patches in the ALF project at http://issues.alfresco.com We will need you to sign a Contribution Agreement before we can accept your contribution.

 

If you are interested in making a large contribution, please reach out to us before starting work so that we can discuss the likelihood of our accepting the contribution. In our experience, most large contributions to the ECM Repository are better implemented as modules.


All contributions should have an associated test case.
