Evergreen’s Development Roadmap

About this Roadmap

The Evergreen roadmap highlights of some of the more significant events in Evergreen’s history while presenting a glimpse into the direction of Evergreen as we see it today. The roadmap helps Evergreen stakeholders plan the future, but it is fluid and subject to change as the community's needs evolve.

Like all well-written applications, Evergreen is modular, but Evergreen also has a service-oriented architecture that makes its modularity scalable. As libraries grow and service needs evolve, Evergreen will adapt and grow as well.

For questions about the Evergreen roadmap, post a message to one of the Evergreen discussion lists or email the developers at mailto:feedback@open-ils.org. IRC users can also stop by channel irc://irc.freenode.net/OpenILS-Evergreen for real-time chat (which is also logged at http://open-ils.org/irc_logs/ ). It's very possible that your idea is under discussion or is in early stages of development. Developers are more than welcome to suggest code enhancements.
