-Intro
-=========
-ROADMAP aims to streamline activities of the Askbot open source project and
-to minimize ad-hoc approaches of "big-picture" level.
-
-Aksbot is a Question and Asnwer system for the normal people!
-
-Let's discuss stuff that goes into this file on
-http://groups.google.com/group/askbot
-
-Bacic principles of the project
-==================================
-Here they are:
-
-* our rule #1 is that all developers have commit right to the project
-  repository, but they must follow this ROADMAP and TODO - 
-  to keep up with our own sanity.
-* we welcome contributions by other people and show tolerance
-  and patience - especially to the new team members.
-* when users who might not be tech-savvy ask questions -
-  we try to answer to the point and using their language 
-  (i.e. not programmer jargon:)
-* we favor plain and minimalistic style of programming, but pay
-  attention to detail - especially details of user experience.
-
-We try do develop using the following workflow:
-
-* specify problem that we try to solve
-* create requirements that will guarantee a solution, once met
-* dream up some implementation ideas (maybe even some sketches on the paper)
-* discuss and decide on the best one
-* write and test code
-
-The process doesn't have to be this formal all the time, but trying to stick
-to some subset of this almost always helps! 
-Especially it helps to iron out disagreements between
-individual programmers (which if you are one - you know are qute common
-- and they don't all end well :).
-
-Ad-hoc programming - i.e. simply go and add code - is not really encouraged.
-This works fine in the one person team or when the team consists of 
-best friends, but is almost sure to fail in a heterogenous group.
-
-Architecture and Requirements
-=====================================
-Obviously Django and Python are pre-made choices - so this
-is not going to change any time soon. At this point all of
-the client side Javascript is written using jQuery library.
-
-Our basic principle is that Askbot should be a mashable Q&A component.
-Askbot is an application written in Python/Django. So it should be 
-distributable as a Django App alone or as a whole site (by option).
-
-If we develop sub-systems that can be used in the broader scope - 
-we package that thing as a separate django application (login system is one example).
-
-We will start using Google Closure library soon!
-
-Sub-systems
------------------
-* authentication system
-* Q&A system
-* admin interface
-* full text search
-* skins (directory forum/skins)
-
-Authentication system
--------------------------
-Authentication system will be a separate django application
-
-Here is the discussion thread:
-* http://groups.google.com/group/askbot/browse_thread/thread/1916dfcf666dd56c
-
-Most of the requirements are listed in the first message
-
-Skins
------------
-Skins eventually must be upgrade-stable - that is people who created custom
-skins should not need to change anything if something changes in the code
-
-Admin interface
------------------------
-* extend forum/settings.py to list default settings of various groups
-* create Registry database table the will store setting values
-* leave only essential settings that go to the main django settings.py
-Create key-value storage
-* should some settings be accessible to admins and some to staff???
-  for example-secret keys probably should not be shared with staff members
