Design

See this document for a high level design and goals.

Roadmap

Phase 1 (v0.1)

This first phase aim to build a first working version of this software with a minimum of test coverage and bug fixes. The first working version is v0.1.0 whose roadmap is available here.

Phase 2 (v0.x - current)

This second phase is about getting more contributors and feedbacks to fix more bugs and improve testing. Feedbacks and tests should make us able to validate design and create a roadmap for the first stable release (v1.0.0).

• Roadmap for v0.2.0

Phase 3 (v1)

This third phase should allow us to make the program more stable and welcoming to new users. Stability will make us able to publish donation goals in order to continue improve the OSS project and build a SaaS product.
