WasmEdge Roadmap

About This Document

This document serves as a reference point for WasmEdge users and contributors to understand where the project is heading, and help to determine if a contribution could be conflicting with a longer term plan. Additionally, this document also describes the rules and steps of proposing and retiring roadmap entries.

Planning for Roadmap

WasmEdge roadmap will be updated quarterly with the following steps.

New Roadmap Discussion

1. WasmEdge maintainers will open an issue on the upcoming roadmap at least 14 days before the start of a new quarter.
2. Any participation can request a roadmap entry by commenting on the issue and volunteering as an assignee.
3. WasmEdge maintainers will collect the proposed roadmap entries along with their respective timelines and assignees, then update them within the issue.
4. When the new quarter starts, the roadmap discussion issue will be finalized, this document will be updated, and new issues for the roadmap entries will be opened.

Updating Roadmap Status

1. The completed roadmap entries will be marked as "Completed" when in a quarterly discussion.
2. Existing roadmap entries which not reach their deadlines will be retained in the new quarter and marked as "Active".

Stale And Close

1. For roadmap entries which have reached their deadlines, mark them as "Staled".
2. The assignees of roadmap entries can request for updating the timeline.
3. The staled roadmap entries will be marked as "Inactive" or "Closed" if no response from their assignees in the next quarterly discussion. The assignee will be removed, and we welcome everyone work on it if they interest in.
4. The inactive roadmap entries will be closed if they will not be planned to support, and their related issues and pull requests will also be closed.
