Priorities and status
Last updated: March 23th, 2023
Current phase: pre-beta.
This page offers a global overview of BobaBoard's current roadmap. You can also check out our active sprints and projects for more specific details.
Current priorities
The next step in BobaBoard's journey is to leave the safe nest of a single community and broaden up our reach.
To do this, we're facing two major blockers:
Technological: the BobaBoard software must be ready to support multiple communities coexisting in the same "installation" (done ✅), and community managers must have access to a baseline level of functionality that allows them to manage the community without Ms Boba's continuous intervention (in progress 💨).
Organizational: the BobaBoard organization must be able to coordinate one (or more) team of volunteers maintaining and extending its functionality (never "done", but encouragingly successful ✅), as well as finding the right community managers to further grow the community (in progress 💨) and to help us define policies and processes that reflect our values and commitments to our user base (just started 🚶♀️).
Furthermore, the BobaBoard organization must reach some level of financial sustainability.
Maintaining a social network is hard work, and any project is at high risk of failure or "progress stallmate" without a strong team (and processes) backing it. While the technological challenges are important, it's the organizational effort that will make or break the project.
