Update: There's now a roadmap draft online which will be turned into the final version, ASAP.

As a preliminary schedule for the coming months here's a first preview of the ASOC’07 roadmap:

I am planning three releases, each estimated with a 1000€ of donations and a month of my time.

Thus, depending on the total of donations, the Antville Summer Of Code 2007 will take between four weeks and three months (or even more, let's see).

The first ASOC’07 release, dubbed 1.2, which right now – according to the current state of donations – looks like a safe bet, will contain the most important and overdue bug fixes and hopefully, some of the most wanted new features.

As there are quite some preparations to do to make the actual work happen at all, this might look like a small step altogether, nevertheless it will lift our old Antville software over quite some heavy distance (which relates to two years in the temporal dimension).

If we cross the magic 2.000€ mark, we can expect release 1.3 to contain most of the requested new features. Of course, bugs introduced with 1.2 will have to be fixed in this release, too.

Release 1.3 and a total of donations of 3.000€ will bring you the round-up of the little bit more extravagant feature requests, and again fixes for the bugs we will find in the previous release.

I am currently working on a detailed list of features for every release and hopefully will be able publish it at the beginning of next week.
