Dependencies Management and Consequences (15:00 UTC)

When we add technologies to Tiki, things are usually fine and problems are or can be solved along the way and in time for the next release. However, those dependencies have their own life and changes in them will have an impact on Tiki. For example:

• Text-editing tools that were once integrated and then abandoned by the developer
• Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4 upgrade impacted upgrading from Tiki18- to Tiki19+
• We are actually holding back Composer upgrade from v1 to v2. Done: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/merge_requests/785
• ...

Instead of complaining about the past, let’s have an open discussion about the importance of re-thinking the process that validates the addition of such external technologies into Tiki.
