NOTE: We are building our starmap now. See {T15041}.
This is a high level outline of some our long-term plans for Phorge (like a roadmap, but looking far into the future). It lists things we plan to build eventually, over the course of **many years**.
This document spans an enormous amount of work and includes projects which will not be completed for many years. In some cases, we won't //start// building these projects for many years. By the time we start, some of these projects won't make sense anymore, so we may never build them or may build something very different than what we describe here.
This is not a prioritization or scheduling document. It doesn't tell you what we'll build next or what we'll build soon, just what we intend to build eventually. For near-term term planning, see the [[ Roadmap ]].
This is also not exhaustive. At the time of writing we have only 200 open tasks, all of which we plan to address eventually. This is just a summary of some of the major plans.
