Software roadmap 2024

Product Development
6

September 11th update

Lots of changes! Don’t hesitate if you have questions.

Main message here is that OFN Global is running out of money that can be dedicated to general dev tasks. Therefore all current work is targeting funded projects.

  • Backoffice UI Uplift: All severe issues have been fixed, I think we can call the rollout done ! ** :heart_eyes: There will be some leftover tasks (like removing the old product page from the main code) but I think we can already celebrate this huge milestone :tada: https://community.openfoodnetwork.org/t/backoffice-ui-product-list-uplift-rollout/2921/26

  • Product Model refactor: the last issue is being tested :tada:

  • Some instances have an Ubuntu version that will be soon deprecated. We aim at upgrading servers with the latest Ubuntu version. This has started and because core money is running low, it has become a funded project : only instances who have been able to contribute to maintenance cost will get their ubuntu version updated. We don’t aim for latest version anymore to reduce costs, only to latest maintained version (Ubuntu 20)

  • Increasing our report automated tests: This has been postponed due to lack of funds. However some funded feature aim to improve reports, therefore some of these tasks will be performed during these projects.

  • DFC API Orders: continuing the work on our DFC API, after products, orders are being displayed on the API. This should be done this month. Project board is here: DFC Orders Implementation Phase 1 · GitHub

  • :new: Voucher upgrade : This project has been started, more info here: Introducing VINE (Voucher Integration Engine)

  • :new: Flower farms: Flower farms in CA have contributed money to get a list of features done. This list is not completely clear yet but 2 new issues are being worked on : a new report and product preview. Milestone here: Flower farms Milestone · GitHub

Finishing Tax report, invoice project and proposing a product modal can’t be done in absence of core funding. These projects are postponed / if possible proposed as issues to be picked-up by the community

Up next (there are changes!)

What will happen next?

The next network milestone will be around Product tags: be able to tag product (add a label to triage them) or actually use our tagging feature and be one step further in our target to retire inventory.

More details on this soon and on the next steps for the Flower Farms project.
