[iSNS-discussion] some thoughts about possible roadmap

[Ming Z. <mi...@el...>]

Suggest to divide the development into at least 3 stages.

1) implement core function, have a workable solution. a release 1.0
2) implement secondary functionalities. 
3) some 

Some stage 1 tasks are

* Code cleanup:
	Support Linux 32bit/64bit.
* Support TCP for transport

Some stage 2 tasks are
* SCN
* for iSNS service discovery, 2.5.1, 2.5.3
* snmp support by net-snmp

Some stage 3 tasks are
* 2.7 iSNS server fail over and synchronization.


Some extra thoughts.


* Must provide a persistence-neutral way to store the iSNS database. It
can be a Berkley DB or a complete openlDAP solution. so a wrapper is
needed to isolate the main code from it.
