Meteor roadmap!

[Geoff Schmidt]

Hello everyone! Many people have been asking for greater visibility into what the core team is working on, and what our future priorities will be. So we've put together a Trello board with the first ever Meteor Roadmap!

http://roadmap.meteor.com

Everything here is subject to change. We'll keep the board updated with the current priorities. Thanks to Avi for making this happen :)

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for getting this up. Since no good deed goes unpunished :-),
the next question is what's the time frame for 1.0. A rough order of
magnitude would be very helpful:3, 6, 9, etc months.

The main reason I'm asking is that I've done some work on a couple of
these items. If 1.0 is imminent, I'll probably wait for the release,
otherwise, I'll just keep going on these.

Thanks for all the good work.

Dror

There's a lot of uncertainty still. It's hard to estimate some of this stuff. When we make something and feel that it's not up to our usual standards, we put it back in the oven until it's done baking. And we don't know how fast we'll be able to grow the core team or how many pull requests we'll get (or what fraction we'll be able to merge.) .. That said, we pretty much nailed our internal estimate on the auth/accounts launch.

It's definitely more than 3 months. It's less than a year. Our current plan of attack is: scalability improvements (in progress now), package system launch (just started), first Galaxy release ("meteor deploy" to your own servers), finalize and publish DDP spec, release 1.0. Along the way, but probably more toward the end, we'll work on fun frontend stuff like forms and pages.

It seems that 1.0 will be a solid foundation for building non trivial web apps.

To me, the last major feature still lacking is server side routing and page rendering.

I'm really looking forward to the next releases!

Geoff, I know that at some point the MDG will provide a 'galaxy' commercial product. Is that what you're referring to below? Or is the below Galaxy release under the MIT-licensed 'Meteor' umbrella? Thanks for clarifying.

Galaxy will be separate from the Meteor core platform.  It's the software that will let you run and monitor a "meteor deploy" on your own servers, to make it as easy as possible to manage a Meteor application.  

We're not 100% sure yet exactly what this will look like as a product.  Almost all our energy so far has gone into core (w/ scaling and packaging on the front burners right now).

cheers,

matt

Would you expect Galaxy would also target deploying and managing on common cloud platforms (Heroku, EC2, Node-Jitsu etc)?

[matt debergalis]

Oh, I didn't mean for "your own servers" to imply only bare metal.
Virtualized infrastructure is a given.
