<p>
The <b>Telodendria</b> roadmap is organized into phases, with each phase
representing a new milestone in the project's lifetime.
</p>
<h3 id="phase-1">Phase 1: Getting Off The Ground</h3>
<p>
A new open-source project needs a few basic things before development
can begin. This phase covers the pre-development stage of <b>Telodendria</b>.
</p>
<ul>
<li><s>Name this project</s></li>
<li><s>Set up a CVS repository</s></li>
<li><s>Make CVS repository public</s></li>
<li><s>Write a coding style guide</s></li>
<li><s>Write a build script</s></li>
<li><s>Add a license</s></li>
<li><s>Add support and issue reporting guide</s></li>
<li><s>Add table of contents to this document</s></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="phase-2">Phase 2: Building A Foundation</h3>
<p>
Matrix homeservers require a few prerequisites. In this phase, we build up
all the tools required to properly implement a Matrix homeserver. This includes
basic data structures, exchange format parsers, and more. We also build up a
command line application, multi-threaded HTTP server, and architect a flat-file
database framework.
</p>
</p>
<ul>
<li><s>Implement an array</s></li>
<li><s>Implement a logging facility</s></li>
<li><s>Implement argument parsing (<code>-c file -Vh</code>)</s></li>
<li><s>Implement a hash map</s></li>
<li><s>Combine library code files</s></li>
<li><s>Implement configuration file parsing using the hash map</s></li>
<li><s>Base64 encoding/decoding with padded/unpadded support</s></li>
<li><s>Write a release script</s></li>
<li><s>UTF-8 encoder</s></li>
<li>
<s>Implement a JSON library using the hash map and array</s>
<ul>
<li><s>Basic encoding from HashMap/Array/strings, etc.</s></li>
<li><s>Basic decoding to HashMap/Array/strings, etc.</s></li>
<li><s>Proper string encoding</s></li>
<li><s>Proper string decoding</s></li>
<li>
<s><q>Canonical JSON</q></s>
<ul>
<li><s>Keys are sorted lexicographically</s></li>
<li><s>Floats are not allowed (ignore any float values)</s></li>
<li><s>Encode as UTF-8 instead of using <code>\u</code> escapes</s></li>
<li><s>Decode encoded strings to UTF-8</s></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><s>Write a function that gets the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds.</s></code>
<li><s>Figure out how to w</s>Write unit tests for array/hashmap/etc</li>
<li><s>Parse the <b>Telodendria</b> config file</s></li>
<li>Add <s>license/</s>documentation comments to all source files</li>
<li><s>Implement a simple HTTP server</s>
<ul>
<li>Implement param parser</li>
<li><s>URL encoder/decoder</s></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Design the server architecture
<ul>
<li>Route requests</li>
<li><s>Handle requests</s></li>
<li>Data abstraction layer</li>
<li><s>Error generation</s></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="phase-3">Phase 3: Welcome To Matrix</h3>
<p>
When the foundations are laid, we can start implementing a real Matrix
homeserver. This phase tracks our current progress in implementing the Matrix
specification.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Client-Server API
<ul>
<li><s>Error responses</s></li>
<li><code>/_matrix/client/versions</code></li>
<li><s>CORS Headers</s></li>
<li>Well-known URIs</li>
<li>Client Authentication</li>
<li>Capabilities negotiation</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Server-Server API
</li>
<li>
Application Service API
</li>
<li>
Identity Service API
</li>
<li>
Push Gateway API
</li>
<li>
Room Versions
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="phase-4">Phase 4: A Real Homeserver</h3>
<p>
The Matrix specification is only a part of what it takes to be a production-ready
Matrix homeserver. While the spec details how clients and homeservers interact with
each other, we still need a way to administer our homeserver. This phase tracks our
progress on getting <b>Telodendria</b> packaged, as well as writing some useful
administrative tools. Only when these things are completed can we call <b>Telodendria</b>
"production-ready."
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Create an OpenBSD package and get it submitted to ports
</li>
<li>
Create a command line tool to manage Telodendria
<ul>
<li>Configuration file generation</li>
<li>User management</li>
<li>Room management</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Migrate from Synapse. I run a Synapse homeserver right now, so somehow
I have to get all my data into the Telodendria format.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="documentation-status">Documentation Status</h2>
<p>
This documentation needs just a little work. Here's the things
on my list for that:
</p>
<ul>
<li><s>Update Rationale section</s></li>
<li><s>Update Project description (no longer a CGI binary)</s></li>
<li><s>Update project code requirements (ANSI C, POSIX.1c)</s></li>
<li><s>Clean up dark mode colors (tables, background, code snippets)</s></li>
<li><s>Add logo (possibly center title?)</s></li>
<li><s>Update Code Style to not include indent or line rules, but to use
<code>indent(1)</code> instead.</s></li>
<li><s>Fix typo "Subitting Patches" in Table of Contents</s></li>
<li><s>Make a note in Getting The Code that the password for the
<code>anoncvs</code> account is just <code>anoncvs</code>.</s></li>
<li><s>Add Contributors list</s></li>
<li><s>Add list of <code>make.sh</code> recipes, and what they do</s></li>
<li>Improve Google Lighthouse score
<ul>
<li>Image elements do not have explicit width and height</li>
<li>Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio. (<code>msg-error</code> div)</li>
<li><s>Lists do not contain only <code>li</code> elements.</s></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add other message <code>div</code>s for notes and warnings.</li>
</ul>
