Roadmap

This roadmap describes the planned features and the quarterly milestones. All work is tracked in GitHub Issues. Plans may change; the issues are the current source of truth.

Feature stages

Features are delivered in stages. Each stage builds on the previous one.

Milestones

Open-source and community work is grouped into four quarterly milestones. Feature stages run alongside them.

Milestone	Focus
Q1: Foundation and licensing	Licence, charter, README, documentation site, test plan, code of conduct, pull request workflow, application skeleton
Q2: Contribution and transparency	Public repository, contributing guide, public project board, developer documentation, CI with status badge, 15% test coverage
Q3: Community	45% test coverage, issue templates, good first issues, public discussion channel, user documentation, governance
Q4: Sustainability	Documentation 1.0, 80% test coverage, Digital Public Goods review

See open-source compliance for the status of each milestone requirement.

Bringing features across from the reference deployment

Some features already exist in the production Baibu deployment. Maintainers bring them across by hand, generalised and in English, in public pull requests labelled upstream-sync. There is no fixed schedule.
