  39         <p>
  40           The roadmap is only a very rough description of the
  41           next steps. Here you can find more detailed informations
  42           what's actually going on.
  43         </p>
  44         <ul>
  45           <li>Integration of a software engine with new configuration
  46             options - engine_usage and key_store (Julia)</li>
  47           <li>Rewrite the OpenSSL shell usage and move it towards
  48             a normal CLI usage - use OpenSSL's engine section (Michael)</li>
  49           <li>System bootstrap workflows (database init etc.) (Martin Bartosch)</li>
  50           <li>Basic PKI workflows (request, issuance, CRL issuance) (Martin Bartosch)</li>
  51           <li>Shibboleth support</li>
  52           <li>Command line client (Martin Bartosch)</li>
  53           <li>Web Interface: Mason (Martin Bartosch)</li>
  54           <li>SCEP Interface (Martin Bartosch)</li>
  55         </ul>

  57         <h2>Wishlist/Sometimes maybe</h2>
  58         <p>
  59           These topics might be addressed in the future.
  60         </p>
  61         <ul>
  62           <li>Native XS implementation of Certificate Issuance (instead of
  63             using the OpenSSL command line interface).</li>
  64           <li>Workflow configuration history (pending workflow instances
  65             remember the configuration that was active when the WF instance was
  66             created).</li>
  67           <li>Cron-like time based event trigger (either integrated in the server or triggered by the CLI client)</li>
  68           <li>Packaging for various Unix platforms</li>
  69         </ul>
