<h3>Roadmap to 3.0</h3>
<p><em>Page Last Updated</em> : $Date: 2002/11/01 15:24:20 $</em>
<p><em>Estimated shipdate</em> : When it is ready.
<p><em>Current Alpha Release</em> : <a href="http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/alpha/samba-3.0alpha20.tar.gz">Samba-3.0alpha20</a>
<p><em>Goals for 3.0alpha21 Release</em> :
<ul>
  <li>Produce RPMs for next alpha snapshot
</ul>

<h3>Road to 3.0</h3>

<ul>
  <li>(26th Sept, 2002) <em>SAMBA_3_0 cvs branch</em>
  <p>With the release of 3.0alpha20, the SAMBA_3_0 cvs branch is now being
  officially maintained in an effort to stablize certain features.  If you would
  like to continue to test the soon-to-be-3.0 codease, please use this branch
  tag when checking out the cvs tree.
</ul>

<h3>Roadmap Overview</h3>

<p>This is a feature list/roadmap for the 3.0 release.  A lot of discussion
has gone on about this.  Implementation is a separate discussion :-)
If a feature is already done, I marked it as "Req".  It should be obvious
from this roadmap that one the major hurdles for releasing the 3.0 code base
is the completion of documentation updates.  

<ul>
  <li>X = done
  <li>o = TODO
  <li>- = unknown
</ul>

<p>
Some features have been through basic testing that have
<b>o</b>'s beneath testing column since we are not done.
Items are ordered by maturity, not by importance.  If it
is marked as <em>Required</em>, then it must be completed
for a stable 3.0 release.

  <li>alternative backend for WINS database
</ul>
