Planning - Roadmap.

This is the intended and very loose 'Roadmap' - a guide to what we think will happen in the project and when.

Our current stage is the beginning. We are discussing what to include and exclude, and how to go about 'doing stuff.'

Below shows a chart tracking our position. The green row indicates our current state.

Date	Stage	Comments
2002 May 29th	Planning	We know what we want to achieve, we've just got to set it down in the form of a web site to promote our ideas and provide a reference to ensure we do indeed achieve what we set out to do. Project members are coming forward with offers of thoughts and ideas, and graciously, time.
2002 June early	Document initial classes that should make up the basis for the code	This code should underpin the work of the API and must be thoroughly documented. Every variable coming in to and out of a function should be documented to remove any abiguities.
2002 June middle	Create initial skeleton classes	Core of the project should be started. Basic code necessary, as necessary to have a clear idea as to how things operate.
2002 June late	Core classes should be somewhat useful. Create intial cut at database schema and add basic template support	Moving beyond the initial code we should be able to progress to fleshing out some of the functions and ensuring they can interact in sane manner. Various object properties should be being worked out and the API built up.
2002 July early	Should have the ability to 'plug' the code into a dummy website and have it do something useful. This requires only a skeleton database design and templates.	Should finally be capable of something useful in a 'foreign' environment - that of another person's website.
2002 July late	First cut at an alpha or beta release	The code should do something pretty useful by now, and have a moderate amount of documentation. The API should be at least 50% complete and documented.
