All these (with the exception, perhaps, of road map) are resolved [I hope]
on

		http://www.krysalis.org/version

A short version of a Road Map (given current thinking) is:

1) Improve the tools via user feedback/comment/bug fixing.
2) Increase the environments it runs in (since it is runtime sensitive):

	Centipede AntLibs	--	close, classpath issues
	Eclipse Plugins		--	work-in-progress (see www site)
	... and then perhaps webapps/etc.
3) Improve the applicability to new version forms/media.
4) Increase the "intelligence" of the tools & reduce the user effort:
4.1) Allow a build to write a build_environment.xml (capturing the
environment version) and subsequence (perhaps user) builds to automatically
compare their environment to it.
4.2) Automatically generate constraint files, for users to edit.

Longer term, perhaps work with Ruper to "Update a complete environment" --
get a "good working set" of all the dependencies for X -- that are
compatible (according to algorithm/constraints) -- as a working set.

Comments? I'd love to hear them.

regards

Adam
