Kettle 0.3 super-drafty roadmap

[Colin Clark]

Hi everyone,

As we gear up for the FLOE Project, there has been lots of road mapping going on throughout the community. As you've seen from Justin's road map, FLOE will include lots of new work on Infusion. We're also hoping to make some quick improvements to our Kettle server-side JavaScript framework. The goal is to be able to use Kettle as a way to rapidly build and test RESTful data feeds that will store and share content accessibility information, user preferences, and captions.

To that end, I've put together a very preliminary roadmap of the planned work. At this point, it's pretty high-level, but I'd appreciate any comments and feedback you may have.

Here's a quick summary of our goals:

* Port Kettle to Node.js to make it fast and more widely-supported
* Modularize it so it's easy to drop a Web app into the Kettle container and run it
* Improve Kettle's URL handling and rewriting features
* Write some documentation
