Road Map

Hey,

The Road Map has been consistently out of date, so I've removed it in favour of linking directly through to JIRA. If we bear this in mind when managing tickets, then things should work pretty smoothly, and we'll never have to think about updating this document by hand.

You can see the report I'm linking to here:

	https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=12310780&subset=-1

The live site will update shortly.

Thanks,

N

Actually, I think this is a big deal.

It presumably only works on my computer because it's tracking session data.

Anyone know how to get a proper URL for the road map?

Thanks, Noah, I think this is an excellent idea.  Unfortunately, that link took me to "Open Issues" and not "Road Map", but no biggie.

We're not planning on having an 0.12 or 0.13 release, are we?  I also thought 0.11.1 was going to be 1.0-rc1.  Best,

Adam

I'm working with the latest trunk of couchdb, and after pulling some hair noticed that configure.ac might need this line:

+ 1 for that, we should keep core smal. Also It would be cool to have
all the code documented.

Seems better to me.
I would also like to see information (links and proposals) about satellite
projects that are (or would be) very useful for people using CouchDB.

Some info a bit more concrete regarding some of those topics (if available)
would be welcome. IMHO, this could capture more people contributing with
patches.

Any number of things that have been discussed here in the past[1, 2], server side plugins, otp-ification (is that a word?), native FTI, webmachine support, really anything is fine. What's important for me anyway is to know where couchdb is headed. The neat thing about couchdb is the code base is small enough to get your arms around it and work with it, but it is growing, and just a little harder to embrace than it used to be.

by that I mean maybe using webmachine but also (and maybe by using
webmachine style dispatcher) a way to plug differents resouces like
external, or such.

Instead of putting it here in an email, just create tickets for each item you want.

Assign them to the version of CouchDB you want them in.

The rest of us can comment on them, etc.

Seems the best way forwards!

There was an old thread about roadmap on the ml. Anyway here are my
wishes for next major releases:

- Removing os processes for js views and instead using something like emonk
- better handling of CPU when indexing so we could handle multiple
users without so much control on the same node
- More RESTFUL api.
- Possibility to chain M/R
- Improve couchapps :
 - remove ugly long , _rewrite and vhost are nice hacks but just hacks
especially when you run CouchDB on your own machine. Raindrop use
another by using doc instead _design has namespace. I think in a full
REST engine there should be a better way to handle resources.
 - Possibility to have a way to include on server level more than one
view & such

I fully agree on that.

Looking at that roadmap it seems it's mostly out of date. It's also lacking
the big goals (major features and eventual design changes) for the few next
major versions. IMHO, this gives a bit the idea that there's a lack of
direction and/or it's abandoned :(

Hi,

Emptying my inbox... Should it means that we need to enter next goals in jira ?

Currently I only see bugs to fix that not so sexy. Also I think we
really should have goals on which to code.
