Beaker: Question: Is there a roadmap for 0.9.x

[pmario]

Now that beaker 0.8.x is out there. ... Congratulations!

Is there a roadmap for 0.9.x?

Thanks! We're working on some documents but nothing's ready to share yet. Here's a rough outline of our plans:

• @Septimus is working on improving the authoring tools which will include
  
  
  
  • A more powerful builtin editor built on Monaco (VS Code's editor)
  
  
  • A favicon drawing tool
  
  
  • More I'm sure (we've got ideas)
  
  
• @mafintosh is working on the Dat protocol improvements which will include
  
  
  
  • More reliable peer discovery and hole-punching
  
  
  • A new version of the hyperdrive datastructure that will handle more files and boost read/write performance significantly
  
  
  • "Mounted" dats, a concept similar to symlinks but for dats
  
  
  • Multiwriter
  
  
• I'm working on the application stack which will include
  
  
  
  • Dat identities
  
  
  • Record protocols
  
  
  • The PeerSockets API
  
  
  • Cryptography tools to sign and encrypt files at rest (current API proposal)
  
  
  • A few other things
  
  

We're also going to be prototyping some ideas around Web-of-Trust Certificates and Search which we're really excited about but not quite ready to discuss yet. We'll keep everyone updated.

Hi,
Just saw on the beaker homepage, that there is a new update on the way. I could help building _and_ testing with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and windows 10. Just let me know.

Thanks @pmario!

Whew this issue is old. My response is like... 50% what we ended up doing 😄. I'm going to close it - we'll give detailed updates once the beta is public.
