At our next dev meeting on Oct 7th, we will be talking about development priorities for Backdrop 1.21.
Since we last asked for feature ideas in the forum just over a year ago, a number of the suggestions have gotten into core. Items like the following:
- Better Taxonomy permissions
- Merge all update pages
- exposed filter in the image library
We've also made big progress on Configuration Recipes.
This seems like a great opportunity to open up the discussion once again to prioritize existing ideas and/or suggest new ones.
What would you MOST like to see in Backdrop 1.21 (or beyond)?
