Short-term Roadmap

(not necessarily in this order)

  • enhance the documentation
  • make a web page
  • port to Darwin/PowerPC
  • make sure that databases are endian agnostic
  • write a C++ wrapper class

Long-term Roadmap

  • allow duplicate items
  • allow multiple databases in one file
  • create commandline-tools to dump, reorganize and recover databases
