Im Sommerwind

Gustav Mahler's summer composition hut

The past four weeks have been a whirlwind of productivity. Enjoying a deep creative flow, I've really been wind-surfing through parentheses as I've been working almost around the clock on FrankenScore. The results have been surprising:

• Core Platform: The massively concurrent core engine will be complete in a matter of days, providing a robust, high-performance platform for ACID-compliant transactions.
• API: The polymorphic API is almost finished as well, allowing clients to easily manipulate musical structures in a powerful and intuitive way.
• Documentation and Website: A comprehensive wiki and a live website are now available, serving as central resources for the project.

This initial rush has successfully got FrankenScore off the ground, building a strong foundation in record time. However, as my holiday draws to its close and my day job with Delegat AB resumes, the pace will inevitably slow down a little.

The timeline for releasing FrankenScore as open source depends on several factors, including the presence of internal collaborators before the public release. While the foundational work is largely complete, the project will continue to evolve at a steadier pace.

If I'm left entirely to my own devices without any pre-release assistance, I should say the public open source release of Ooloi 0.x will happen in about a year's time. With collaborators, in about six months or so. But this is difficult to gauge with any exactness, as there are so many variables involved.

Also, after going public, remember Ooloi won't be finished by any means. That's when the journey begins in earnest, travelling the distance from Ooloi 0.x to 1.0. But then we'll be travelling as a group.

Anyway, there'll be regular status and road map updates on this blog. I'll keep you posted.
