For 2022-2023 the project has some big picture goals:
- Accessibility
- Simple, reliable hosting options – We want to empower a hosting solution as a preferred partner with an easy to launch and maintain hosting system.
- Multilingual support – We want to support plugin localization with a more scalable system than the current POEditor process.
- Improve configuration/setup experience – We want to look for ways to clarify and simplify the administration, setup, and configuration experience.
- Improve documentation system – We want to make the user documentation more complete and easier to use and update.
- Innovation to support movements
- Expand micro user experience – We want to use micro apps/magic links as a strategy to enable small interactions with contacts who may or may not be users in the system. This would support the organic nature of movement and the disciples in a movement interacting with the system without feeling like they are “interacting with a CRM system”.
- Expand generational mapping – We would like to see much more visual use of the generational tracking that exists in the system. Easier generational visualizations and micro generational visuals throughout the system.
- Expand team support – We want to see the system more natively support “team” style collaboration.
- People groups support – We want to better track and manage people groups in synchronization with Joshua Project.
- Open source stewardship
- Develop key stakeholders – We consider every code contributor, every product evangelist, and every implementor a partner in this kingdom enterprise, but we also want to develop a small group of partners who will share the financial and vision leadership of the software.
- Host quarterly Disciple.Tools stewardship meetings on Zoom with leaders.
- Develop user community
- Moderate the Disciple.Tools slack
- Increase documentation and videos
- Regular D.T news releases to the email list.
- Develop the developer community
- Host the Disciple.Tools Summit in October
- Steward monthly developer zoom calls with contributors
- Regular release communication on new versions to the email list and website.
