Raindrop/Milestone Planning

Milestones

Planning area for different milestones. Milestones are a few weeks long and are named after trees.

• Maple

Backlog

This is a sketchpad area where we can list out things we want to do that have not been slotted into a milestone yet.

Do not assume anything listed here will actually be done. It is more of a planning area, and the list will change drastically over time.

When choosing items for the next milestone, focus on items that will help Raindrop develop a significant market presence. Right now that means getting Raindrop to run on a hosted service in the cloud.

Codes:

• BE: Back End (platform)
• FE: Front End (platform)

Backlog

• Security: investigate CouchDB OAuth to restrict access to the couch to only authorized users.
• Security: set up secure storage and use of credentials to message service providers.
• BE: Implement confidences to allow multiple extensions to override/cooperate on a specific schema.
• BE: Provide a way to roll back extension changes that affect a common schema. For instance, if two schemas modify rd.msg.body, then have a way to roll back one of them and the subsequent schemas generated from rd.msg.body and re-run the dependent extensions based on the new version of rd.msg.body.
• New web-based account setup based on the security model, something suitable for a hosted environment.
• Cloud images for Raindrop: Amazon image, others?
• FE: Developer tools
  • Server API inspector
  • In-page code inspector: show widgets and their properties.
  • Improved extension editor that allows HTML/CSS/JS.
• Extension sharing model.
• FE: implement JSDoc comments to allow for API documentation.
