There's Allowed Formats now. Can we just take that one and run with it?

@colan - That's a valid question since there is currently minimal support for better_formats. The respective module maintainers should talk over the best way forward. IMHO, we should not shift all functionality from one module to another since that ends up confusing for site developers that handle sites in multiple Drupal versions.

Updating status since there is some functional code for the D8 version now and priority to normal since there is a fair amount of usage of the D7 version.

The respective module maintainers should talk over the best way forward.

Agreed. That's exactly what I'm trying to encourage. If you're in touch with any of them, please pass this along. I'm trying to avoid some of the module duplication issues we have for D7.

I am interested in taking this project on for GSoC and would like to know if it is possible to have the roadmap completed soon.

The actual requirement is not mentioned here.
Can someone please specify it?

Can a GSoC participant make progress to this release?

@joyceg There's already a dev release for D8: https://www.drupal.org/node/2657268

I don't think there is a roadmap for additional development, the focus on the port is testing the existing code and filing and fixing any found issues.

@justAChris, Thanks for that information. I was thinking of doing the port as it was mentioned in the GSoC ideas list: https://groups.drupal.org/node/508466#project10

I am currently working on another project.

Hi,

I used this module in a D7 website and i found it really useful.

I want to use it on a D8 but i am not sure that is a good idea (assuming that it is still in dev version).
So i have two question :
- How can i help to improve its stability ?
- Is it really not usable in production for now ?

Status: Needs work » Closed (duplicate)

Given that there are still no releases and the maintainers simply ignored #2987409: D8 Alpha1 Release, I'm updating the status.

Allowed Formats is being used by almost 7K sites and has a stable release. Missing features can be added over there (if there still are any).

Feel free to update this if there are legitimate reasons for keeping this one alive, which should be documented on the project page (a link to the other project explaining differences between them).
