|---|---|---|---|

| 3 | Arvados is currently (April 2013) *not ready to install and use*. Rather than wait for a particular level of readiness, we have chosen to make our source code and ideas available early. If you are interested in helping to *design and improve* Arvados, you can do that now. |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | Some components have been implemented, and we are running them in our own test/production environments. |
||
| 6 | * REST API server |
||
| 7 | * Client-side pipeline manager |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | Some components currently exist only as prototypes in the Free Factories predecessor project. Porting these to Arvados is our current development focus. |
||
| 10 | * Keep server |
||
| 11 | * Crunch MapReduce job manager |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | Some components have not been implemented yet. We think it's important to describe them to establish scope, even though they are currently vaporware. We also hope to attract early feedback. |
||
| 14 | * Lightning |
||
| 15 | * Compact genome format |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | APIs are in active development. |
||
| 18 | * REST API is getting stable but isn't at 1.0 yet |
||
| 19 | * Keep API is likely to change (primarily for authentication/permission features) |
||
| 20 | * Crunch API (used by job tasks) is likely to change |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | SDKs are in active development. |
||
| 23 | * Rails SDK (an ActiveRecord-like interface) is not yet packaged separately from the Workbench app |
||
| 24 | * Python SDK (based on the Google API client) could use better auth-token integration |
||
| 25 | * Command line tool usage is subject to change |
||
| 26 | * All SDKs need docs |
||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | Documentation is in active development. |
||
| 29 | * Tutorials and examples need to be improved as APIs stabilize |
||
| 30 | * API docs need to be filled in (many models are currently documented only as source code in /services/api/) |
||
| 31 | * Admin docs are a placeholder |
||
| 32 | * Install docs are a placeholder |
