Implementable right now (but not necessarily important), with caveats
(unavailable components that will limit what can be implemented right
away), in order in which they will likely be done:
* TESTING
* FS (DHT not available)
* SETUP
* DV (distributed testing not available)
* TBENCH (distributed testing not available)
* TRACEKIT (distributed testing not available)
* HTTP transport
* FRAGMENTATION
* MySQL / Postgres plugins (datastore, datacache)
* UPNP


PHASE #2: (Goal: recover basic file-sharing functionality)
* TESTING (needed for DV, DHT, Topology)
  - implement library for local testing
    + modify configuration to allow controlling
      connections for non-local starts
    + CORE service does not start with valid peer ID (all zeross)
      -- testcase fails!
    + consider changing API for peer-group termination
      to call continuation when done
    + testbed creation with topology (needs working F2F topology) [Nate]
    + testbed with churn [Nate]
  - implement testcases for library
    + get test for basic peer start to work!
    + test basic peer connect
    + test group start
    + test basic peer re-configure [Nate]
    + test topology creation [Nate]
    + test churn generation [Nate]
* TOPOLOGY:
  - implement testcases (needs TESTING)
* HOSTLIST:
  - implement testcases
* FS (anonymous FS only)
  - review FS API [Nils, Amatus, CG]
  - design network structs (CS)
  - implement FS library
    + URI API
    + getopt API
    + persistence mechanism
    + sharing API
      ~ file-information
      ~ insert
      ~ download
      ~ search
      ~ unindex
      ~ namespaces
      ~ collection
    + directory API
  - design network structs (P2P)
  - datastore request queueing mechanism
  - implement FS service (needs DHT)
    + insert
    + download
    + search
    + unindex
  - implement testcases 
    + URI API
    + getopt API
    + sharing API (needs TESTING)
      ~ file-information
      ~ insert
      ~ download
      ~ search
      ~ unindex
      ~ namespaces
      ~ collection
    + directory API
  - implement performance tests (needs TESTING)
    + insert
    + download
    + search
    + unindex
* new webpage
  - install on proper server
  - activate as ng.gnunet.org
=> Deploy(able) development network


PHASE #3: (Goal: ready for pre-release) [completion-goal: end of 2009]
* Module features to implement:
  - setup (RC-pre0)
    + default generation
    + need to settle basic design; do we want to keep guile?
  - testing (RC-pre0)
    + implement library for distributed testing [Nate]
    + implement testcases for distributed testing [Nate]
  - tbench (RC-pre1)
    + good to have for DV evaluation!
  - DV (RC-pre1)
    + write DV API 
    + implement DV service [Nate & CG]
    + implement DV library [Nate]
    + implement DV transport plugin [Nate & CG]
    + implement testcases [Nate]
    + implement performance tests [Nate]
  - tracekit (RC-pre2)
    + good to have for DV/DHT evaluation!
  - DHT (RC-pre2)
    + implement DHT service (needs DV, DATACACHE)
    + implement DHT library
    + implement testcases
    + implement performance tests
* GUIs to implement:
  - gtk (RC-pre1)
    + how to integrate scheduler with GTK event loop!
  - fuse (RC-pre2)
  - qt (RC-pre3)
    + see discussions @ FISL about integration with event loop!
* Plugins to implement:
  - UDP backend (RC-pre2)
    + Fragmentation library 
    + actual plugin
  - HTTP backend (RC-pre2)
* Determine RC bugs and fix those!

=> PRE-RELEASE


PHASE #4: [completion-goal: mid 2010]
* Documentation
  - Doxygen generation
  - lcov generation
  - update man pages
  - update webpage documentation
* new webpage:
  - expand bibliography
  - convert documentation pages to books
  - update books (especially for developers)
  - create good Drupal theme for GNUnet
  - make a NICE download page and figure out how to 
    enable developers to publish TGZs nicely
  - port "contact" page; add impressum
  - add content type for "todo" items?
  - DNS activation
* Plugins to implement:
  - MySQL database backends
    + datacache
