>==Amahi Roadmap:==
This is the official roadmap for the next major version of the Amahi project.<br>
Unlike the list on the forum, if a feature is listed here, it has been decided that the feature will be implemented unless there are really good reasons that it should not or can not.
for now there are no entries known for the next major version if you want to take part in the process of planing check the official roadmap-topic in the forum or submit features via our bug-tracker.
Version 6.0
- LDAP?
- CIDR?
[new features]
- Amahi 6 will be based on FC12 and Rhell 6 giving us the opportunity to spend more time for features and less on porting to a new version
- Amahi Core will be changed to a modular setup, creating support for integrated add-ons, like: mail servers, media servers, small busyness servers and other server roles.
- Amahi 6 will be integrating the ongoing efforts of the Amahi-team to make your home server safer, faster and more user friendly.
- Lib Pam Auth will give us new opportunities to manage users, user-permissions and options that you would usually find in commercial servers only.
- New ways of support will be added to backup and restore your server as well as your workstations. Clonezilla as well as Bacula will most likely be integrated as an Amahi core-component.
- If all goes according to plan Amahi 6 will also be the first version that may be getting a commercial version making it more suitable for System Builders and OEM's.
[Side projects]
Since Amahi 6 will be a lot of work, we are also planning a list of 'side projects' (being features that are not directly integrated into the Amahi release itself, but will still enhance it in any kind of way)..
- The first 'side project' we are looking volunteers for is: Amahi-buntu - Since being asked for we are looking for Ubuntu devs who can help us making a Ubuntu port of the Amahi-core.
- Another feature we would like to see is a: minimal_boot.iso that would be a revised install media for Fedora Linux.
It should incorporate:
o a very minimal Linux install,
o Raid support,
o The entire list of Amahi dependencies,
o An SSH-deamon to enable a headless install over ssh.
o And probably some other features as well
Documentation Crew
- Rampage537
- pjcrux
- ichat
- Orbit77
Version 5.0
Accomplished!
- Targetted to Fedora 11 or Fedora 12 if the opportunity arises and F12 looks stable (early indications look good - see the Forums). The F11 test repo is working well so far
- Rails 2.3 (largely done and in the repo already, though not in the F11 repo yet)
- Move to the new installer (this is somewhat done, needs a LOT of testing)
- Move closer to supporting Ubuntu
- Localization and Internationalization: this is about 50% done.
- We need some help in making the platform "keyword complete."
- We should not ask the translators for more translation until we are keyword complete.
- Phusion passenger (aka mod_rails) support. (largely done)
- Integrate PXE ootb
- Replace PBA with clonezilla
- Separate the platform password from the MySQL server root password
- More modular native apps based on Rails engines
- Password protected setup pages!
