Hyperledger Cactus Roadmap

A living document with the maintainers' plans regarding the general direction of the project:

Can I Add Things to the Roadmap?

If you take on the burden of implementing a feature yourself no one should stop you from adding it here as well, as long as the majority of the maintainers also agree that it is something that has a place in the framework.

For example:

  • Support being added for new ledgers by implementing new connector plugins is always welcome.
  • On the other hand, if you want to repurpose Cactus to be the operating system for a driverless ice-cream truck you are developing that that may not get accepted by the maintainers even if you are happy to do all the work yourself.
