Guild Launch Mod & Rapid Raid Import/Export Roadmap
Guild Launch WoW Mod & Multi-Game DKP Import/Export Roadmap
As of: April 30th 2008
This roadmap doesn’t have any specific dates intentionally. We’re not sure when these milestones will be met, but these are the milestones that we have set internally for our mods specifically and DKP imports/exports in general.
The long term goal, in general, is to decouple our imports and exports from being as World of Warcraft oriented as they are now and actually in the process delivering more functionality for all games, WoW includeed. Does that make sense? It's not a contradiction.
The key is to develop our import formats so as new games come out or new mods become popular we can more quickly adopt our imports and exports to support them. And so we can more easily add functionality to our system and quickly support it in our imports and exports in all games. It's an important goal for us. In the end we will have more robust support for a wider range of mods developed and maintained outside of Guild Launch and will also be able to more quickly adapt to new import types and games that are launched.

Design an XML Format for Guild Launch DKP Raid Imports
A. This XML Format will support the creation of events, attendance, items, etc. in the same way the current system does via raid tracker, but will be fully documented and extended as appropriate to be more appropriate for a wider range of needs.
B. Modify CT_RaidTracker to output this format
C. Will include ablility to import DKP adjustments outside of raid, event and item imports.
D. This milestone will allow for imports from any game that a file of the right format can be generated for.

Design an XML Format for Guild Launch “Current” DKP Exports a.k.a "Uber Export"
A. This XML will be consumable by other applications that may need it.
B. Part of this process will be the exploration of the feasibility of using this XML format as the source for a more generic converter that can export the DKP into various format. Some formats will be easy, others won't. We'll figure out what is doable.
C. The end result of this milestone will be the ability to quickly define new export file types and output them. This would be used to create export files for other mods, or other games.

This milestone includes Warhammer DKP tracking development.
A. Once Warhammer comes out they are supposed to have LUA mods. With mod support we'll be able to develop Warhammer specific functionality.
