For more information, see the documenation wiki.

dotCMS will include a macro that will allow front end users to contribte content to the dotCMS content repository.  The macro will build the front end form automatically based on the structure that the content will be inserted into.

dotCMS is moving from long object identifiers to replication friendly UUIDs.  This move will allow for sites, subsites and objects to be replicated and pushed from one server to another without fear of object id collision.

Almost every form created on the front end of dotCMS is required to do different things.  We are going to develop the idea of "Form Chains".  Form Chains are made up of links, which are small java classes, reuable actions that can be strung together to build an extendable and robust form handling framework.  For example, you could have a form chain that was built from the following links:

• Link 1: Validate Form data
• Link 2: Insert data into custom table
• Link 3: Email form results to interested parties
  
• Link 4: Send thank you email

The idea is to build robust web applications, you can string together small links to form any custom chain that you might need.

dotCMS will integrate with Jackrabbit, Apache's open source implementation of JSR-170.  Jackrabbit will provide all content services to the web engine and allow users the piece of mind that their content is in a standards based repository.

We will create a new field type called binary field which can be used to store assets directly on a piece of content - outside of the file folder structure.
