Project Roadmap

What is this?

Warning: This is still under editing

The primary goal of OpenFarm is to create an online database of plant and crop growing information freely accessible and usable by anyone.

We have a relatively clear idea of how we hope to achieve these goals, but as the project is a large one we know we won't be able to deliver everything at once.

This document aims to outline in more detail what our goals are, where we are now, where we want to be in the future, and how we get from A to B. This document will inevitably be a work in progress for quite some time!

Long Term Goals

1. Basics: It should be free, easy, educational, and convenient to share and read personal plant and crop growing guides from members around the world.
2. People should be able to add their own guides.
3. People should be able to save guides and relate them to their own garden.
4. People should be able to learn about all variety of crops and access details about those crops from a wide variety of open data sources.
5. Achieve long term goals in a safe and health working and contribution environment.
6. Anyone is capable of and is encouraged to contribute to the OpenFarm community, including but not limited to source code, financial contributions, guide listing, and community organizing.

Non-Goals

• OpenFarm is not trying to be a communication protocol between different farming data sets and APIs. We hope those data sets and APIs may eventually use our data, but standardization beyond OpenFarm is outside of the scope of this project.

Overall Strategy

[... this is the hard part]
