I roadmap in Cobbler doesn't always mean everything as we always take good patches and ideas as they come along, but I think it's still important to have a few major features for each release. Here's my plan. As I see major things going on at the moment for the next release (I want to start releasing /smaller/ releases more often, rather than big releases):
-- performance items. Make CLI talk to cobblerd for speedy action in large configs. Make all operations callable over XMLRPC for better integration with other apps. (Possibly add better XMLRPC/web search) -- Windows support (linux-ris work) for mixed environments (I'll probably end up helping with this too, since it's a rather big feature)
Anyone else see any major themes from the RFE list and things you would like to see concentrated on for this release or upcoming ones? https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/report/1 ?
The ongoing discussion of big things/themes missing is always a good one to have. We have also collected a lot of great RFE's, so I'm going to try to organize these further and make it a bit clearer as to what I think interesting priorities for them are in case folks (including me) want to knock them out.
I think the ongoing work on SuSE/Debian is also very good stuff, so folks who are working on that, that's great -- it need not be aligned to any release, though I think getting things packaged up there could increase the userbase nicely. Let me know if there are any concerns in that area. I see packaging (Debian+SuSE) and SuSE imports as some of the larger missing parts in that area to increase the world domination factor :)
