 				This is the project plan for
 				<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/tigerstripe">Tigerstripe</a>
 				1.0.0
 			</p>
 			<p>While our goal is to be ready graduate out of incubation by
 				the end of the plan, we acknowledge that we have quite a bit of work
 				ahead of us, so the detailed content of some of the future release
 				may be adjusted and certainly very much influenced by community
 				requirements.</p>
 			<p>At the time of writing of this plan, version 0.4 has just been
 				released and includes a significant refactoring of the framework to
 				enable more customization of Tigerstripe as a
 				Model-Driven-Engineering environment for the Telecommunication
 				Industry.</p>
 			<p>We are going to continue working towards graduation throughout
 				the years and will focus on removing all the remaining legacy code
 				and continue building our user and adopter communities.</p>
 			<p>
 				Our key drivers for this year are:
 				<ul>
 					<li>Making Tigerstripe a robust, scalable environment for
 						Model-Driven-Engineering with special focus on the
 						Telecommunication Industry.</li>
 					<li>Provide a customizable modeling end-user framework, as
 						we acknowledge that multiple domains within the Telecom Industry
 						have different modeling requirements.</li>
 					<li>Leverage all existing Eclipse project where applicable
 						(Modeling, buckminster, etc.) and remove redundant legacy code.</li>
 					<li>Build our communities of Users and Adopters</li>
 					<li>Aim for project graduation</li>

 				The release deliverables will be split across an intermediary 0.x
 				release (0.5 'Bora') which will will be the last build of
 				Tigerstripe with its legacy core.
 				<br />
 				Starting with the 1.0 stream, the legacy core will be completely
 				removed and we will be relying solely on EMF objects
 			</p>
 			<p>In order to accomplish this transition, we have already started
 				building a and EMF-based version of the Tigerstripe model elements,
 				which will be available in the late maintenance releases of 0.4
 				'Alize'. </p>
 			<p>For 0.5 'Bora' we will focus on end-user customizations for the
 				modeling environment and address some of the long standing bugs in
 				Bugzilla</p>
 			<p>As of 1.0, Tigerstripe will provide a complete MDE framework,
 				that can be customized into specific domains with Telecom Industry
 				and possibly others.</p>

	<p>Tigerstripe aims at providing both an Eclipse
	Framework for adopters to build upon, but also a end-user
	workbench that doesn't require any programming and yet allows
	organization to adopt MDE quickly. </p>
	<p>
	For every release we provide 3 features that can
	installed/downloaded separatly:
	<ul>
	<li>Tigerstripe Annotation Framework: a framework to
	annotate any resource or java element in the Eclipse workspace.
	Definitions for the content of the annotations is done through
	EMF's Ecore. This framework is independent of the rest of
	Tigerstripe code, yet the Tigerstripe we provide a direct
	integration allowing to annotation Tigerstripe model elements.</li>
	<li>Tigerstripe Core Framework: offering all the model
	access/edit, generation and auditing capabilities found in the
	Tigerstripe workbench, without the UI</li>
	<li>Tigerstripe Workbench: the end-user MDE
	environment, including model editing, Class diagrams, Instance
	diagrams, Facets, generation, etc.</li>
	</ul>
