+#+TITLE: Tentative GNU Guix Road Map

+
+The goals of the GNU Guix project are two-fold:
+
+ - to build a purely functional package manager, based on Nix and
+ Guile;
+
+ - to use it to build a practical 100% free software distribution of
+ GNU/Linux and possibly other GNU variants, with a focus on the
+ promotion and tight integration of GNU components.
+
+This documents lists tentative milestones toward these goals.
+
+
+* GNU Guix 0.1: Dec. 2012
+
+** basic package management facilities
+
+Including install, upgrade, remove, roll-back, and search.
+
+** self-contained user-land distribution
+
+ - GNU/Linux-only, i686 and x86_64; optionally mipsel64
+ - ~100 non-X11 packages
+
+** maybe integrated Nix code
+
+* GNU Guix 0.2: Feb./Mar. 2013
+
+** improved package management features
+
+ - user-environment hooks
+ - sophisticated handling of collisions when building a union (package
+ priorities, etc.)
+
+** auto-update facility available for GNU packages
+
+** more packages
+
+ - Xorg
+ - Emacs
+
+* GNU Guix 0.9: June 2013
+
+** bootable GNU/Linux-Libre distro
+** high-level OS configuration descriptive EDSL, à la NixOS
+
+* GNU Guix 1.0: September 2013 (GNU anniversary release)
+
+** bootable GNU/Linux-Libre distro with non-GUI installer
+** usable for a range of hacker-style uses
