The current ToDo List:
Immediate: (Originally expected to take 1 month, actually took 12 months)
- Create a core team of community developers
making regular commits
- Create a public source repository (GIT based)
- Setup a bugtracker and gather information on known issues
- Setup a feature request tracker
- Setup mailinglists
- Release our first stable version with as many tested community patches as possible (Released on 12/01/2010)
Short Term: (Originally expected to take 3 to 6 months, will more likely be a year)
- Gather patches, apply and test
- Set foundations for QA testing, release schedules including an auto-build test environment
- Gather as much documentation / information and structure into this Wiki - generally improving all documentation
- Gather information from surveying users to help shape the future of dspam
- Create rpm, deb, and source builds for popular (or requested) OS's
- Gain inclusion with popular OS's (Gentoo, FreeBSD, CentOS, Ubuntu/Debian, OpenSuSE)
- Start work on drop-in replacement php based web-gui
Medium Term - no order to this list: (Next one to two years)
- Move /var/dspam to database model - much better support for multiple boxes with failover (this is not trivial)
- From scratch re-think of WebGUI (probably PHP based, AJAX, user-friendly, easy to setup) with internationalised languages packs
- Outlook and Thunderbird Plugins (all opensource)
- Add zabbix monitoring hooks
Long term: (Future, or maybe sooner)
- Customised distribution of FreeBSD tailored for use as a antispam appliance (with multiple box failover support)
- also acts as reference platform for testing/debugging dspam and performance testing
- thoughts based on successful projects such as pfsense and freenas and commercial appliances such as Barracuda
How to get involved
This project is currently looking for anyone interested in becoming involved. You don't need to be a coder to do so! If you have any interest in dspam then firstly join up on a one of the mailing lists. If you aren't a coder, but have ideas how to improve the project then use the mailing lists or create a new feature request. If you found a bug, then list it on the bug tracker.
We are also looking for translators, documentation editors, how-to guides and testing on any platform
