Blygger roadmap
What is being worked on across the four Blygger repositories, in priority order: the top of the list is next. It is one list on purpose. Discussion happens on the linked issues, and this file only says where each item stands.
- Area is the repository:
spec(blygger-spec),studio(blygger-studio, the reference client),org(blygger-org, blygger.org and the official blyg) orcom(blygger-com, the blygger.com directory). - Est is relative effort in planning-poker points (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40),
not hours.
?means it cannot be sized until a question is answered. - Status:
next(up soon),later,in review(a contribution is waiting for review),waiting(on a person or a date, named in the row),needs ruling(a protocol question decided before any build),shipped(with the version; shipped rows drop off after a release or two, and the changelogs are the permanent record). - Open question is anything to settle before the work starts. It is answered when the item is picked up, not in advance.
To propose something, open an issue on the repository it belongs to; the issue templates say which. An issue that is accepted gets a row here linking to it, and the issue stays open for discussion until the work ships. Protocol proposals are decided against the spec's rules first. The spec's version ladder is a different document: docs/roadmap.md.
