Helios 2.0 manifesto

Now that I'm not under as much insane deadline pressure as I was during the first year of Helios, it's time to go back and do things right.

Goals

Helios 2.0 will have the following goals:

  1. Helios will be easy to understand and use.
  2. Helios will be singularly focused on doing one thing well: writing reactive, networked applications in .NET 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5.
  3. Helios will more closely follow the Netty project's architecture and design goals. It won't ever match 1:1 with Netty, but we will borrow from their years of experience and astonishing success in equivalent JVM applications.
  4. Helios will include full documentation and tutorials.

Roadmap

We intend to accomplish these goals in the following steps:

  1. Remove everything from Helios that is currently not used or not relevant to this roadmap. House-cleaning.
  2. Provide clear specs for how new moving parts are supposed to work under Helios 2.0 - i.e. how do I add a step in the request processing pipeline? and so forth.
  3. Redesign and re-implement existing functionality in order to support specs.
  4. Provide integration and access points for enterprise concerns, such as monitoring and logging.

@Aaronontheweb does 2.0 include the hook/ladder stuff we were discussing?

@Aaronontheweb [facepalm] Doh. Must read gooder.
