So Edoardo Barolo pointed out that he can't see the road map if we move off of Redmine. He's right but I think that the roadmap we have is useless. It was created as a dream when we released this project into the world of open source and was never touched or thought of again. I think we should create a new roadmap, rethink what we're doing with Ryzom Core and decide what we, as a community, want our future to be.
The old Roadmap has two versions - 0.9.0 and 0.10.0. The goal of 0.9.0 was to port Ryzom Core. I'd say that this has been sufficiently accomplished. We have clients and servers on Windows, Mac and Linux. We have someone even building Ryzom Core on a Raspberry Pi and another community member porting the client to Android (and it's looking pretty good!) So lets called 0.9.0 closed. Lets plan on doing a tag and release. But lets look at what 0.10.0 will be and the version after that. When do we as a community think we've achieved a 1.0 release?
The old roadmap calls for the creation of cloud-based tools. We've already begun a mass exodus of the tools off of MFC and towards Qt, largely thanks to the hard work of dnk-88's Summer of Code projects. Does this continue to be the goal for 0.10? What do you as world creators and developers see as essential tools that are missing? Is there functionality missing in the existing tools? What tools being ported to be multi-platform are an absolute necessity?
Does 0.10 or 0.11 also include something other than tools? Is there some game-play initiative we want to conquer and implement? Or server management tools? What do you dream of Ryzom Core having?
Please discuss here!
