Project roadmap

[bmaschio]

@jolie/developers

The other day I was talking with colleague of mine about Jolie and how cool it is the language. His main comment on the project was that it looks a bit static. My response was no look at gitHub there is a lot of things going on. And he said to me : well yes but your standard IT manager does not look at gitHub.
Then I tried to impersonate an IT manager looking at Jolie asking some questions

• Is Jolie really used?
• Is Jolie a dead or alive project ( see gwt )
• What are the next steps in the project so that I can start planning my application development

I suppose what I am trying to say is that would be nice to have a "mission statement" and a roadmap of development like "Portability to Java 8" "MongoDB integration" "HData integration"

Also in my opinion would be nice to start having a minimum of "customers" follow up for example before the download of latest version asking some details such an contant e-mail and some professional data such

• Student
• IT manager
• Developer

With this data we may be able to correct the site "communication" to get a better impact on the IT community

Hi Balint,

Good idea! I have a roadmap I use, I could kickstart this by sharing the
major development points and the time plan for the next releases. I would
like to continue using github issues for discussions though, so the best
way is probably to link to those for details.

I'll try to make a template next week, and then I'll count on your feedback
for improvements. Sounds good?

Cheers,
Fabrizio

Sounds excellent . Maybe if it is possible to use gitHub milestones as the RoadMap milestones ?

https://guides.github.com/features/issues/

https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/milestones/

so that the project management tools remains gitHub ( we like it very much) but then we have some way to present it in somehow more commercial way in the official site,
How does it sounds?

Oh, great idea. I was using them but only for short-term stuff, I'll look
into creating more long-term milestones.

What about getting some feedback from download? to better figure out the audience?

[fmontesi]

Not sure what you mean by that? A web form before/after you download?

[bmaschio]

Something like a HTML form where the people that download jolie can tell us about them, so to have a bit of an idea where and who is using it .
