[Scrollkeeper-devel] SK mini-roadmap

[Dan M. <da...@ea...>]

Laszlo,

I'm trying to assemble our plans just a bit.  It looks like we have 4
developments in the near future:

A) Move SK to libxml2
B) i18n improvements
C) Support relocatable packages
D) indexing/searching

Am I missing anything we need to do in the short term?

Is this the order we plan to implement things?

What is the status on (A).  Is (A) pretty hard or going to take a lot of
time? 

I don't see much point in making a new stable release for (A) since it
doesn't have user-visible changes.  I'm tempted to make a new release for
each of the other points unless (C) is easy/fast enough to lump in with
(B) without delaying it much.  So, I have:

   Release Number         Changes            Est. Release Date
   --------------         -------            -----------------
    0.3.x / 0.4         (A) and (B)             late May
    0.5.x / 0.6             (C)	                late June
    0.7.x / 0.8             (D)	                mid July

(These dates are very rough of course.)

If we think (A) will take a long time, we may want to do (B) first since
we get important functionality from (B).  However, if Mary needs (A) to do
(D), we may have to do (A) before (B).
