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
- 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
- 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.
