The 2019 SAFE Network Roadmap / Project Plan

[majumba]

Continuing the discussion from The 2019 SAFE Network Roadmap / Project Plan:

Hi guys -

The roadmap is well laid out and easy to understand. Thank you for providing this. It certainly helps to put the development updates in perspective, however it did raise one question for me.

In response to a query in February @dirvine seemed (or at least as I read it) to indicate that the team had solved secure message relay and had started coding and implementing this component already.

@dirvine

• Integration of PARSEC in a dynamic permissionless network
• Introduction of Disjoint groups with secure message relay
• Enabling disjoint groups to merge and split whilst maintaining consensus
• Secure Message Relay
• Integration with SOLID

These are all done (SOLID is ongoing). The last big thing we need to finalise is network upgrades. These are likely to start with
a forceful mechanism and evolve to fully network aware upgrades. That does not stop the launch, but makes it easier I feel.

@dirvine

With “done” you mean done, in terms of conceptually solved (no unknown left) but still needs to be implemented?

By done I mean already in code and being tested

The way I read the secure message relay component in the roadmap is that it is still in the design or conceptualizing phase and coding has not started yet.

Please can someone please help to clarify or explain the reason for this disconnect. Much appreciated.
