+# MySQLTuner-perl Roadmap
+
+This document outlines the future development plans for MySQLTuner-perl. It is a living document that will be updated as the project evolves. The goal is to provide a clear vision of the project's direction and to encourage community contributions.
+
+## Code Quality and Maintainability
+
+- **Refactor the codebase:** Break down the monolithic script into smaller, more manageable modules. This will improve readability, testability, and maintainability.
+- **Improve test coverage:** Implement a comprehensive test suite to ensure the script's reliability and prevent regressions.
+- **Enhance documentation:** Improve the internal documentation to make it easier for new contributors to understand the codebase.
+- **Adopt modern Perl practices:** Update the code to use modern Perl idioms and features, which can improve performance and readability.
+
+## Expanded Support
+
+- **Cloud-based services:** Add support for popular cloud-based MySQL services, such as Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, and Microsoft Azure Database for MySQL.
+- **New storage engines:** Add support for new and emerging storage engines, such as MyRocks and Spider.
+- **Containerized environments:** Improve support for Docker and Kubernetes environments.
+
+## Enhanced Analysis and Recommendations
+
+- **More granular recommendations:** Provide more specific and actionable recommendations, tailored to the user's specific workload and environment.
+- **Historical data analysis:** Collect and analyze historical data to identify trends and provide more accurate recommendations.
+- **Machine learning-based recommendations:** Explore the use of machine learning to provide more intelligent and predictive recommendations.
+
+## User Experience
+
+- **Improved output formats:** Add more output formats, such as HTML and JSON, to make the script's output easier to read and parse.
+- **Interactive mode:** Add an interactive mode that guides users through the tuning process and provides more context for the recommendations.
+- **Graphical user interface (GUI):** Create a GUI to make the script more user-friendly and accessible to a wider audience.
+
+## Community and Contribution
+
+- **Improve the contribution process:** Make it easier for new contributors to get involved by providing clear contribution guidelines and a welcoming community.
+- **Create a public roadmap:** Share the project's roadmap publicly to encourage community feedback and contributions.
+- **Organize community events:** Host online events, such as hackathons and webinars, to engage the community and encourage contributions.
