Roadmap

This starts out as a hobby project and I don't have time constraint for it. Nonetheless, it's better to have a roadmap to see where I am and what to do next.

Phase 0: Planning

As I am writing this roadmap, we are at the end of this phase.

This does not mean that I will do no more planning, but rather that I will start implementing rather than merely planning.

In this phase, I:

drafted the use cases
drafted the database design
drafted implementation for grammar
decided on the targeted platforms:
- Desktop: GNU/Linux
- Phone: Android, GNU/Linux
- Other: Web, JVM

Phase 1: Minimum Viable Product

In this MVP, it is expected that the following features be implemented:

Phonology: The user can add common consonants and vowels. This should allow user to auto-generate spelling for new words and vice versa.
Grammar: The user can add description. In this phase the inflection and syntax parsers are expected not to be finished yet.
Vocabulary: User can add part of speeches and word classes.

The implementation will be on GNU/Linux, using GTK3. It should be able to be ported to Windows and MacOS, though, as described in GTK docs.

Phase 2: Elaboration

More features shall be implemented:

Phonology: User can add tone and other suprasegmental features such as stress and nasal vowel.
Grammar: User should be able to create inflection tables.
Vocabulary: User can derivate new words using derivational rules defined in grammar

Phase 3: Expand

In this phase, the application will be ported to different platforms. Feedback from users from previous phases will be used to enhance the app.
