YACY Release Road Map
The milestones listed here may change while milestones are reached.
This is just a vision of the possible evolution of the proxy.
0.1 http proxy with cache indexing
- database
- caching http proxy
- search engine on cache entries, implementationb of reverse word indexes ("RWI"'s)
- http server to access search function
- proxy configuration through built-in httpd
- simple prefetch without prefetch schemes
- firewall for proxy and httpd access protection
0.2 peer fundamentals
- first information 'ware': seeds, which are peer information records
- seed categories:
'junior' - for peers without server (like 'LO-ID'),
'senior' - for peers with server (like 'HI-ID'),
'principal' - for senior peers with ftp upload for superseeds lists
- first p2p protocol commands:
* 'Hello' - network bootstraping and seed propagation
* 'Query' - for peer information and access granting
* 'Search' - global naive search of RWI's throughout 'some' remote (other peer) RWI's
- ftp integration for principal peers: to upload seed list-files to dedicated places, listed in superseed-files
- blacklist distribution
0.3 distributed hash tables for reverse word indexes
- prefetch schemes and local prefetch execution
- spider order entry + interface
- blacklists / hotlists
- next p2p-command:
* 'Tell' - for information wares distribution
- establishment of the DHT's structure for all information wares
- performance of search of RWI's using the DHT's
- more information ware: L-URL's (loaded-url register) and DHT's
0.4 DHT in place
- all peers shall contibute in DHT transfer
- search patterns
- search depth
0.5 advanced search functions
- scheduled and exceptional ware propagation and distribution
- next p2p-command:
* 'Check' - for L-URL requesting
0.6 gloabl prefetching and global spidering
- non-proxy mode, using a specialized prefetch schemes for such cases
- more information wares: P-URL's (prefetch url's, not loaded), deadlinks
- next p2p-command to support standalone-mode (non-proxy)
* 'Job' - requesting of P-URL's
- global prefetch execution with P-URL's
- delegated index conjunction
- delegated description provisioning
0.7 ? split-off of mature code
- kelondro database
- httpd/http-proxy
- plasma indexing/searching
- p2p-protocol handler
0.8 ? more interfaces
- konqueror cache access
- mozilla cache access
- squid cache access
- telnet command interface
0.9 ? pre-production release
- bugfixes for all known bugs
- user demands integration
- proprietary functions
1.0 production release
