 = Goals =
 The new SUMO should:
-* Have 100% or close to test coverage
+* Improve the SUMO experience for developers, contributors, localizers, and, of course, users.
-* Improve performance on both the front and back end
+** Get faster, on both the front-end and back-end.
-* Reduce the time-to-production for new features
+** Get cleaner, so the code is fun to work on.
-* Be fun for developers to work on
+** Get better, so contributors and localizers are more excited about our platform.
-* Improve the contributor workflow
+* Reduce time-to-develop features.
-* Maintain features and workflows that users and contributors like
+** Use extensive unit-testing to reduce regressions.
-* Enable machine access via APIs and feeds where required
+** Increase the ability of community members to contribute.
-= Development timeline =
-We plan to develop Kitsune in tandem with TikiWiki and migrate components over one at a time or in functional groups.
-== Phase 1: Planning ==
+= Roadmap =
-* Develop a low resolution roadmap for Kitsune: what will be built (scope) in what order and rough time and resource needs [[Support/SUMOMigrationOrder]] and also [[Support/Kitsune_Milestones]]
+''See [[/Timeline]] for the old description.''
-* Choose tech platform (how to build it) [[https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ao5KB_TZOvbVdGhxNVlad2YxSW55Qy1wRnhWZmhJX1E&hl=en Framework comparison]] [[Support/TechPlatformAnalysis]]
-* [[Support/Kitsune/BugGuidelines]] -- guidelines for what bugs should be fixed in the old codebase and which should be deferred
-* Plan and obtain necessary infrastructure [[Support/KitsuneInfra]]
-* [[Support/Kitsune/DevelopmentWorkflow|Workflow]]
-== Phase 2: PRD development ==
+Kitsune will run in parallel with TikiWiki, slowly taking over features. For every Kitsune release, until approximately 2.4, there will be corresponding TikiWiki release (1.5.x) as we shift more and more traffic from the old software to the new.
-This phase will take place in parallel with phase 3.
-* For each component or component group in order, develop a PRD.  This will involve community input including
-** Blogging
-** Brownbags
-** Design lunches
-** etc
-== Phase 3: Implementation ==
+== 2.0/1.5.4: Search Results [Frozen] ==
-This phase will take place in parallel with phase 2.
-* Develop components that have complete PRDs
+* Execute searches and display results from Kitsune.
+* Maintain session data between Kitsune and TikiWiki.
+* Develop deployment strategy for Kitsune.
+* Timeline:
+** Freeze: April 22.
+** Push: May 6.
+== 2.1/1.5.5: Discussion Forums [Underway] ==
+* Discussion forums (Contributors/Off-topic).
+* Discussion forum administration.
+* Access control in Kitsune.
+* First data migration.
+* Timeline:
+** Start: Late April.
+** Freeze: Early-mid May.
+** Push: Mid-late May.
+== 2.2/1.5.6: Support Forums ==
+* Support forum(s).
+* New support forum interface.

+== 2.3/1.5.7: Knowledge Base ==
+* Knowledge Base wiki.
+* Parts of new wiki interface.
+* Wiki administration.
+* Third data migration.
+* Timeline:

-* "Kitsune (狐, きつね, ki·tsu·ne) is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore; kitsune usually refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form."
