Project Roadmap

The project is currently in an 'exploration' phase, where we explore the technical challenges involved in creating a unified API for desktop containers. As part of this phase we plan to touch on a number of different API features to explore potential implementations. At this stage the API itself will be quite fluid and very much in a draft form.

Following this exploration phase we plan to start elaborating on the various APIs, adding further depth, tests, documentation and moving them towards a final form.

The following broad areas are being explored:

• Notifications- the initial exploration has been completed, see the related notes
• ScreenSnippet- the initial exploration has been started, see the related notes, however this does not perform full screen capture. This is something we will re-visit when elaborating this API.
• Window - an initial implementation that allows new windows to be created has been completed, along with some window controls (show/hide etc.). For more information see the related notes
• Messaging - initial implementation is complete allowing messages to be sent from window to window by using a window Id. For more information see the related notes
• App - an initial implementation that provides information and control for the application's lifecycle, see the related notes
