This document intends to shed light on the current development plans of the community for the Standard for Public Code. Plans change constantly as new information is absorbed.
The Steering team and community review the roadmap periodically as part of the regular community calls and releasing a new version.
- As far as possible, make the standard Standard-compliant
- Obtain committed collaborating organizations
- Separate executive summary (issue #302)
- Possibly: add in the illustrations for each criterion
- Become an ISO standard, see notes from a community call
- Add to README and index.md information (and eventually statistics) on adoption and use (issue #438)
- Becoming validated by multiple codebases
- Release version 1.0.0 after a few codebases are compliant, see notes from a community call
- Linkable requirements
- New cover art
- Register for ISBN
- List with an on-demand book printing service
- QR codes or mobile-friendly external links in print version
- Add possibility to view older versions of the standard on the website, not only under the GitHub releases
- Expert (external) review of accessibility
