Let's get Pathauto in core!

During each Drupal major version cycle, there is always an effort to identify major contrib functionality that could/should be added to Drupal Core, and Drupal 8 is no exception (can I just say: VIEWS - HOORAY!!!).

One of the most-used and most-downloaded contrib modules is Pathauto (http://drupal.org/project/pathauto), and there has been an effort several times to get it into Core.

With your help, this could become a reality -- but only if we act fast: there are several tasks that need to be taken care of before the upcoming Feature Freeze (which is scheduled to be December 1st -- see http://buytaert.net/updated-drupal-8-release-schedule).

What can you do to help?

You can sponsor development resources, work on patches, review them, etc. Here are the tasks that need to be done first:

Once that is all done, the automatic URL alias functionality can just be an alternative widget for the path alias field, which should not be difficult to create, and then the only remaining step will be to add a few sensible defaults to the standard install profile, and we'll be good to go!

So.... step up now!
