Project Status
(Coordinators & Goals)
 

Please note, We update this file infrequently! Do not take lack of a recent update to mean the project has stalled as so many have. We have been making continuous progress for about two years, and intend to do so until Clash v 1.0 is released!

This hasn't got a lot of specifics in it yet. Where we do have information its in the following format:

  [specific status goals and timing]
  P = Pre-Alpha means something that works but not sufficiently refined.
  A = Alpha means reasonably close to a complete implementation
  Dx = slated for Demo x.  Mostly we only plan one or two ahead
  [blank] more than two demos away, unless that Right person shows up! :-)

{coordinator if we have one, and who else is working in that area, N = someone needed}

If you think you're coordinating or working on something and you're not listed, let me know and I'll fix the oversight. These topics vary broadly in the amount of work involved. Some sub-items will require several dedicated people, for others one person probably can do several.
