= '''SDK Release Roadmap''' =
 
TBD. SDK versions 0.4 and 0.5 are currently targeting 2010 Q2. Once 0.3 is released, this space will fill in with the plan for those.


The roadmap for the SDK is available at [[Labs/Jetpack/SDK|Labs/Jetpack/SDK]].

= <b><span style="color: #f00">Legacy</span> Prototype Release Roadmap</b> =
The SDK releases so far are available at [[Labs/Jetpack/SDK|Labs/Jetpack/SDK]].


The information in this section is from an earlier draft of this roadmap and is pending review/archival.

== Jetpack 1.0 Goals ==
NOTE: Some of these are already achieved by the move to the SDK approach, and some made obsolete/irrelevant. These goals need updating.


* '''A seamless install process''': It defeats the purpose of Jetpack to first require users to install Jetpack, then install a particular Jetpack, before using its features. Instead, we need a solution which allows a seamless install process.
