== What is this page about? ==
This page is a collaboration board for the Ivy development community. Here we 
organize the ideas we have about how Ivy should look like and what features we 
want to see in it.

The page would be updated frequently, according to the activity in the ivy-dev 
mail list.

== Current ideas for future Ivy release ==
(created: Nov 14, 2006)

1. Ivy should well define an artifact metadata format. It would be based on Ivy 
1.x and Maven POM formats. (TODO: this issue is to be extended and detailed.)

2. Ivy would define and use a set of rules about artifact naming and 
identification. 

3. Ivy would publish a public metadata repository (perhaps an extension to the 
current ivyrep.org site). This repository would make use of the naming 
conventions as defined in (2) above.

4. Ivy would be able to access local and remote repositories in a pluggable 
way. (TODO: define the API: what operations a repository-resolver should have)

5. Ivy would use pluggable latest-strategy modules. The latest-strategy have to 
choose a specific revision among many revisions of the same artifact according 
to user request. For example: the common use is to choose the "latest" revision 
according to a given status (integration, milestone or release) and according 
to revision and time. (TODO: define API operations)

6. Ivy output should be handled in a pluggable manner. It should be simple to 
replace the default output messages with a quieter outputter.

... to be continued...
