-!This is a page for Bitweaver Roadmap planning
 {maketoc}
-Please add to, and comment on this page.
+This page is for developers. Please add to, and comment on this page if you would like to help develop the core of bitweaver. If you are NOT a developer, please do not edit this page. You may leave suggestions in the comments.
 
-!!Proposed Features
-!!!Native Forums
-!!!Improved Comment Retrieval Performance
-The current storage method for comments does not allow easy retrieval of a range of comments if a tree structure (i.e. replies to indiv comments) has been used.
-Drupal has a scheme for creating comment keys such that comments can be tree structured, but easily retrieved in chunks with a single query.
-Not difficult to implement, but requires a schema change.
-!!!Gateway between email and Content creation, Forums, comments, etc.
+!In Development
+!!Centralize Network Communication Handling
+((SwitchboardPackage)) is being completed to deal with the various complexities of network communications.
 
-!!!Universal Discussion
-We have many possible ways for discussions:
-* mailing lists
-* forums
-* blogs
-* wiki-pages
-* IRC

-Seems like it should be possible with central content management to make a discussion appear in all of these formats simultaneously. Each just being a different way of viewing the same information. email gateways to blogs and forums are pretty common, Zwiki has email to wiki, Drupal has email to content functions, comments are pretty much equivalent to to forums replies in concept.
-IRC is a little harder, but while content -> IRC might not be practical except as summary, IRC -> content shouldn't be too hard.
+Goal: develop Switchboard to be universal transport gateway for all messaging, such as email, sms, aim. Any kind of transaction can be facilitated through switchboard. Such as enabling two way email interaction with ((BoardsPackage)) posts (e.g. sending and receiving posts like a mail list), to posting photos, videos, audio files etc, to ((TreasuryPackage)) from a phone. Also see [http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/mailhandler|Drupal Mailhandler] and [http://www.chatterous.com/].
 
-Interfacing content with forums would probably be more practical with some kind of native forum implementation.
+State: Switchboard is now distributed with Bitweaver and LibertyCommments makes use of it for notification events.
+
+Todo: Migrate more core communication components onto Switchboard.
+
+!Ideas for Release 3 of bitweaver
+!!Remove distinctions between modules and "central" modules so any module can be located in any area.
+
+!!Register module profiles during layout editing so we can know details, such as optional parameters the module takes.
+
+!!Continue cleanup of ((BoardsPackage)) to bring it to level of phpbb
+We should build out a list of specific todos - perhaps on the Boards package page. and we can point there for what needs doing.
+
+Key missing features:
+* Nested boards - the schema exists, logic and template support is needed.
+* Nice pagination
+* Ability to add lots and lots of custom smilies. forum people are smiley insane (smileys package, quicktags?)
+* Signatures (easy, there's already an unused on partially coded, should be part of users package though)
+* Integration with MessagesPackage (go through switchboard) (WHY? messages is already there integrated into bw, a module can show numbers of read/unread msgs, AND that can already be done with a customized template in the header/topbar)
+* Configurable cute little user level based on number of posts, eg "Noob" 0 < 10 posts, "Getting Aquantned" 10->100, "I'm a Regular", 100 -> 1000 "Old timer" > 1000 posts
+
+!!Port Drupal Project Module to Manage Package Pages
+We should endeavor to make package release easier and friendlier. Look at http://drupal.org/project/project which I believe drives the project pages on drupal.org.
+
+!!Add History to Translations
+this would allow sites to open translating to far more people. Each string would have a history.
 
 !!!Edit Sections of Pages
 The ability to edit sections of pages rather than always having to edit the entire page. [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_feature_list|Mediawiki] supports this feature.
