docs: Add project roadmap with milestones and architecture decision records #85

Description

BOS (Bugema Operating System) currently has a minimal README and no documented roadmap or architecture decisions. As a self-hostable internet OS, the project scope is ambitious and needs clear direction for contributors.

Problem

  • No roadmap document outlining planned features and milestones
  • No architecture decision records (ADRs) explaining key technical choices
  • Contributors don't know what features to work on or how the system is designed
  • The relationship between BOS and its sub-projects (GreenCode, OpenCare-Core, LifeLine-ICT) is unclear

Proposed Solution

  1. Create docs/ROADMAP.md with:
    • Phase 1: Documentation and governance foundations
    • Phase 2: Core OS abstractions and API design
    • Phase 3: Application ecosystem integration
    • Phase 4: Self-hosting deployment tooling
  2. Create docs/adr/ directory with template and initial ADR:
    • ADR-001: Choice of MIT license
    • ADR-002: Documentation-first development approach

Importance

Open-source projects without clear roadmaps struggle to attract and retain contributors. A roadmap gives the community visibility into project direction and helps prioritize contributions.
