= Introduction  =

This page contains the project plans for the Eclipse Lyo project. The first part of the plan describes the various components of Lyo and the currently planned enhancements to functionality. This plan is subject to changes based on community participation and the importance of proposed functionality to the community - we encourage anyone interested to participate. The planning process will be as open as possible and this plan will be updated as it changes. Please provide feedback on the [mailto:lyo-dev@eclipse.org lyo-dev@eclipse.org] mailing list.

You can also view the official release plans for Lyo at:  http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=technology.lyo

== Reference implementations for OSLC (RIOs)  ==

Reference implementations are currently available for the Change, Requirements and Architecture Management specifications. See the&nbsp;[[Lyo/LyoRIO|Lyo reference implementation]] page for details. Currently planned enhancements are: 

*Refactoring to allow for pluggable RDF and application server technologies ('''contributors needed''') 
*Improve reference implementation web UI ('''contributors needed''')

== Additional Proposed SDKs  ==

Contributors are needed and welcome for all of the following: 

*.NET (C# or other) 
*Perl

= Upcoming Releases =

Our next release, Lyo 2.0, is planned for 3Q 2013. We plan to move to quarterly releases after 2.0.

Release content will come from the prioritized backlog, stakeholder feedback, and community contributions. Contributions are always welcome! Even small bug fixes help.

= Lyo Backlog =

Backlog items with rough prioritizations:

* [HIGH] Build a W3C LDP reference impl and SDK for LDP only
** Simple JAX-RS + Jena based reference server
** Reference apps to driver reference server (possibly Node)
** Build a OSLC V3 ref impl and/or SDK on it
* [HIGH] OSLC4J support for Tracked Resource Set specification
** Sample TRS consumer
* [HIGH] Test suite and assessment report consumability
** Deployable web app
** Host for IBM
** Increase MUST/SHOULD coverage
* [HIGH] - Re-factor test suites to use OSLC4J and drive them via resource shape and service provider resurces
* [HIGH] - JavaScript client library
** Consumer navigation of provider (catalog->provider->resources)
** Helpers for dialogs (frame handlers, etc)
* [MEDIUM] Automation enablements
** Hudson/Jenkins
** Test tools
** Chef/Puppet
* [MEDIUM] Orion integration
** [RDF formats] People like to hand crank some RDF formats, can we do something simple to plug into to provide some simple syntax highlighting and validation
** [Node.js] Perhaps just a document of how to use Orion to do JS/Node dev with our impl.  FYI https://github.com/scripted-editor/scripted
* [LOW] Perl enhancements, merge libs
* [LOW] Python examples
