Roadmap

2014
This is a very general roadmap that emphasizes major milestone goals for potential users or developers who are interested in the project. It does not reflect the full extent of the development, and it will change. It also does not reflect target import of already identified datasets. As questions are asked on specifics we'll extend this map to identify where they fall as best we can estimate.

A rough legend on functionality:


 * Project - User/project related
 * Basic - Nomenclature, Taxa (OTUs), Specimens
 * Annotation - Notes, Tags, Data Attributes etc.
 * Matrix - Matrix capabilities, bifurcating keys, generated descriptions
 * Media - Images, PDFs, Sounds, anything that is a file (these may be incrementally added, starting first with PDFs, then images)

Milestone 1

 * Unify development on Postgres and OS X laptops - Target of Jan. 21

Milestone 2

 * Live sandbox builds for workbench - Target of Mar. 30
 * Simple "Project" and "Basic" functionality

Milestone 3

 * Workbench production build - Target of July 30
 * Production version of sandbox builds in Milestone 2
 * Sandbox Matrix, Annotation and Media functionality

Milestone 4

 * Simple "public" interfaces for production data - Target is Dec. 1st
 * Simple navigation through nomenclature, and taxon pages
 * Production matrix and annotation functionality
