As you can see in Alfresco 3.2 Community Final the Web Studio is labled as Beta, which I would say its more Alpha 😉
It would be very interessting for me to know, when the first stable version is expected to be released (this year or next year?), as it is a show stopper for me at this moment to show it to my customers.

Hi everyone,

The version of Web Studio in Community 3.2 is still in Beta.

We pushed through a number of enhancements for Web Content Management in time for Community 3.2. These included some pretty compelling requests including full clustering for WCM (both authoring and delivery tier) as well as a faster and more extensible deployment engine. It also introduced the ability to plug in per-web-projcet custom preview URI services for previewing against test servers.

These were pretty important pieces because, without them, we'd be pretty limited as to the deployment options for Web Studio.

Web Studio - Good News!

That said, Web Studio does have a production release in the works that addresses many of the issues brought up by folks. I expect that people will be very happy with the result and will also feel that it's much more extensible. We've worked hard to ensure that it has good JS patterns for extension.

We've also taken the opportunity to clean up some browser compatibility-related things. In doing so, we've made it much leaner (the Javascript total size is about 50% of what it was) and we've also done away with MooTools and YUI dependencies altogether. The Web Studio overlays essentially only use jQuery at this point. jQuery is pretty slick.

The goal is to provide a production release of Web Studio for Alfresco 3.3 which has a finalized API so that everyone can build custom extensions - things like new applications, sliders, drag and drop behaviours and even language translations. To do so, we're sticking to what I feel are some pretty good Javascript patterns.

Folks who can see HEAD should be able to grab this in the coming weeks. However, in terms of a preview drop, I would predict this to hit for Alfresco 3.3. That's probably about two months away.

At that point, we'll get to have a lot of fun. I'm curious to see who will write the most compelling plugins - whether plugins for in-context editing, digital assets browsing… I'm not sure! Though… I can't wait to see what people come up with.

Michael
