# Waku Roadmap 2024 Gantt Chart Status short term work only: - reliability for 1:1 chat and communities - up to 100 communities Colour legend: - **Red**: engineering work to deliver the feature. - Other: test and telemetry work to ensure quality Anything prefixed `TBC` is pending confirmation of estimate with the team. Completion dates are delivery of the code + **dogfooding**. If too hard to read, try to see this fine in [GitHub](https://github.com/logos-co/roadmap/blob/v4/content/waku/2024-gantt.md). ```mermaid gantt dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD axisFormat %d-%b weekday monday %% Milestones overview with deliverables section Store Service Upgrade Store v3-beta (msg hash): crit, milestone, after storev3-br, 0 Store v3 (sync): crit, milestone, after storev3-r storev3-g storev3-n, 0 DoS protection for req-res protocols: crit, milestone, after dosreqresn dosreqresj dosreqresg, 0 PostgreSQL maintenance: crit, milestone, after pgsql, 0 (metric) Count store messages: milestone, after count-store-msg, 0 section Direct Message Reliability (testing) direct messages: milestone, after test-direct-msg, 0 Review connection management: crit, milestone, after review-conn-mgmt-1 review-conn-mgmt-2, 0 (tooling) filter and light push protocols: milestone, after lite-proto-tester, 0 (telemetry) Fleet logging: milestone, after telem-fleet-logging, 0 (telemetry) direct message reliability: milestone, after telem-d-msg-rel, 0 Reliability Protocol for Relay: crit, milestone, after rel-relay-g rel-relay-n, 0 Reliability Protocol for Resource-Restricted Clients: crit, milestone, after rel-reqres-g rel-reqres-j, 0 Review MVDS usage and fail path: crit, milestone, after mvds, 0 TBC User apps for large scale dogfooding: milestone, after user-app-gui, 0 section E2e reliability protocol (telemetry) Multicast message reliability: milestone, after telem-m-msg-rel, 0 E2e reliability protocol PoC: milestone, crit, after e2e-rel-r, 0 E2e reliability protocol Status integration: milestone, crit, after e2e-rel-g, 0 section Static Sharding -
