MAUI port roadmap

[maxkoshevoi]

With Preview 7 (in a month from now) MAUI should be feature complete, so people might start migrating their apps in the near future.

Are there any plans or roadmap regarding poring this toolkit to MAUI?

Yes, it's. And they are amazing❣ You can see our plans here.

We don't have any specific plans for the open PRs right now. My personal feeling is that everything we merge now is a risk of destabilizing what is there and will also cause us duplicate work by merging it now and therefore require ourselves to also port it to the .NET MAUI version.

I think it's also mentioned in the blog post that Pedro linked that we will stop adding new features as of later this month and then follow the same path as Forms to just release bugfixes and stability fixes.

I appreciate the enthusiasm, we're trying to set things up for the new Community Toolkit while maintaining two others so please have some patience :)

@jfversluis Got it, so feature PRs are low priority and unlikely to be merged/looked at.

What about bugfixes?

• Fix DisplaySnackBarAsync Task never completes if another SnackBar appears, and completes before SnackBar action #1357
• Bugfix/tabindicatorwidth #1223

I appreciate the enthusiasm, we're trying to set things up for the new Community Toolkit while maintaining two others

If I understand you correctly, they are also postponed until two new toolkits are ready, and will be merged here first and then ported into them. Is my understanding correct?

@maxkoshevoi I was about to ask about the roadmap and found your discussion 👍 @jfversluis @pictos just a suggestion, what about adding some comments to the XCT description page about not adding new features and focus on the bug fixes? The idea is getting the community members efforts and focus on the bug fixes and stability so we have a smooth transition to MAUI. Thoughts?

[GUOLDEV]

I was thinking about a bug-bash, so we can get bugs fixed as much as we can, I have checked old bugs (issues report) and some of them maybe are already fixed or hard to reproduce, so we can focus on the ones that we can reproduce or just waiting review.

Hey, @GUOLDEV this is what we have planned, just need to double-check what's the deadline to accept new features. After this deadline, we will focus just on bug fixes. In terms of feature requests, we'll see what makes sense to move to the MauiCommunityToolkit (MCT).

Sorry if we passed a feeling that we don't have anything defined, the truth is that we've been working in backgrounds to create the base of the MCT and start the migration. In September we will share more stuff with contributors.
