Future Milestones

This section will track anticipated major milestones

Upcoming:

  • Additional IP registrations beyond the initial persona seeds
  • Next IP registrations and protocol publications
  • First finalized documentation archival
  • Monthly snapshot cadence establishment
  • Integration with source repositories

Historical Markers

Use this section to note significant events that predate the archive

Pre-Archive History:

  • BlackRoad OS ecosystem development (dates TBD)
  • Repository creations and initial commits (to be documented from git history)
  • Major architectural decisions (to be backfilled from source repos)

Note: Historical events should be added retrospectively as they are discovered or documented in snapshots
