2019 Roadmap

As outlined during the meeting on 24 Jan 2019 , this is the proposed 2019 roadmap for Plexus Interop:

Q1 2019

• API: Desktop Interop API documentation improvements (simplification) – Done
• Support adoption of Plexus Interop implementation in other organizations – Haven't been any, conversation with JP-Morgan
• Add extension points allowing gathering runtime interop stats from Plexus Interop Broker for monitoring and analytics – Done
• API: Desktop Interop API ratification. V1.0.0 ratified. Continue to evolve. – Check with Leslie
• Program confluence curation – Ongoing
• Review alignment with FDC³ standards – Not done. Focus has been on different implementation of container rather than API
• Implementation of FDC³ API on Glue42/ Plexus – Still being worked through
• API: extension to include Pub-Sub, and Context Channels, to API standard – Pull Request still outstanding

Q2 2019

• Plexus: Simplified JS Client API: add support for JSON encoding in addition to Protobuf, remove protobuf.js dependency from JS client and make code-generation optional – Merged with Node.JS broker
• API: define API language bindings for .NET and Java – Not done, check with Leslie
• Review alignment with FDC³ standards – Not done. Focus has been on different implementation of container rather than API

Q3-Q4 2019

• Plexus: Implement broker on Node.JS in addition to current .NET implementation – Incremental version delivered in H2, work in progress, being developed in the open. Want this to be a collaborative effort with other members of the programme.
• Review alignment with FDC³ standards – Not done. Focus has been on different implementation of container rather than API. FDC3 API can run on top of Desktop Interop API

With the following additional goals - to be discussed:
