Cortex: Status and RoadMap
Current Status
We're just setting up the wiki and development area at the moment, getting things ready.
It would be great to start discussing the library with as many people as possible, so if you're interested in being involved please join the discussion group on the Developers page.
Development Road Map
Initial Release
The initial phase will prepare a few small modules that are fairly isolated and useful in themselves, and make a good example for the quality of code, documentation and unit testing expected. The intention here is to keep the scope of the library small enough that fully developed core modules (such as math and image) aren't required, as these will require input from a lot more people before any sort of design consensus can be reached.
Estimated dates: January to June 2007
Towards v1.0
A second phase will bring in more people to consult on design issues before broadening the scope of the library to a general framework upon which to add more functionality. At the end of the second phase will be a solid but perhaps not too feature rich v1.0 release, suitable for general use as a VFX tool programming framework.
Estimated dates: July to December 2007
After v1.0
After v1.0 we'll be doing fairly regular point releases as new features are added.
Estimated dates: 2008 and beyond...
