Merlin Roadmap (proposed) -------------------------
Release Manager: Stephen McConnell.
The following document declares a set of goals that establish the roadmap. They are not linked to any particular release or release status, instead, they serve to establish a sense of project direction around which specific objectives can be qualified and progress measured.
! ! 1. evolution and maintenance goals ! ---------------------------------- ! 1.1. evolution of the platform to provide equivalent ! functionality together with migration tools supporting ! Phoenix and Fortress user migration ! ! 1.2 periodic maintenance releases reflecting updates to ! code, documentation, specifications, etc. ! ! 2. development goals ! -------------------- ! 2.1. management - the integration of container-side ! management facilities then will enable fine-grain ! component and container control, including implicit ! and explicit appliance redeployment through to ! component activation, suspension, resumption and ! tear-down ! ! 2.2. distribution - the integration of concepts dealing ! with service distribution and protocols enabling ! service availability monitoring and notification ! ! 2.3. federation - the introduction of support for the ! consolidated management of a distributed network of ! service management platform ! ! 2.4. security - integration of core services supporting ! principal establishment and propagation ! ! 2.5. preservation - focussing on being able to incorporate ! all of the above without compromising the core ! platform
Criteria for releases should simply be based on pushing out binary drop-points at periodic intervals. Actual status (alpha, beta, final) will depend for the different subsystems.
