+## Preamble
+
+    Idea: 63-refactor-geth-packages
+    Title: Refactor status-go node package
+    Status: Draft
+    Created: 2017-12-20
+
+## Summary
+`geth/` packages require refactoring as they are tightly coupled, hard to maintain and extend. In this idea, we would like to fix all these issues and make status-go architecture easier to work with for new core members and external contributors.

+
+## Product Overview
+We have a bunch of problems related to the `geth/` packages:
+* `NodeManager` contains a lot of complexity, especially related to starting and stopping a node,
+* `geth/account` unnecessarily depends on packages like `geth/rpc`,
+* decouple `geth/transactions` from `geth/account`,
+* remove huge, unnecessary interfaces,
+* get rid of `geth/common` package.
+
+In this idea, our goal is to come up with a better architecture design for these packages, removing unnecessary dependencies and huge interfaces. Overall, the whole repo will be easier to browse through for audit companies and external contributors.
+
+### Product Description
+It does not add any new features from the user perspective but it's a part of making status-go better tested, easier to extend and reason about, also by external contributors.
+
+### Requirements & Dependencies
+All existing tests should pass. If we need to change the interface in `library.go`, we need to communicate that and work with status-react team to figure out the best way to do it.
+
+### Minimum Viable Product
+Goal Date: 2018-02-02
+
+Description: Minimal implementation of `Node` that can be started and stopped and an RPC client can be connected to it. It should be preceded with code examples how the new interface of `Node` will look like.
+
+### Iteration 1
+Goal Date: 2018-02-09
+
+Description: The rest of the `Node` features is implemented.
+
+### Iteration 2: [AccountManager cleanup](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/753)
+Goal Date: 2018-03-23
+
+Description:
+`AccountManager` should know nothing about Whisper or `node.NodeManager`, so on this iteration we will remove these dependencies.
+
+### Iteration 3: [TransactionManager cleanup](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/772)
+Goal Date: 2018-03-30
+
+Description:
+`TransactionManager` shouldn't directly depend on `AccountManager` and `NodeManager`. In this iteration we want to remove these direct dependencies.
+
+### Iteration 4: [common.NodeManager removal](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/779)
+Goal Date: 2018-03-30
+
+Description:
+`common.NodeManager` interface and all its mocks have to be removed from status-go. This interface is too large and is not useful at all.
+
+### Iteration 5: `geth/common` package removal
+Goal Date: 2018-04-06
+
+Description:
+`get/common` package contains everything. In this iteration, the goal is to remove it complete or at least move most of the functions to appropriate packages.
+
+### Iteration 6: Simplify `node.NodeManager` API
+Goal Date: 2018-04-13
+
+Description:
+1. Change its name to something more appropriate as it does not manage multiple nodes,
+1. Rename methods indicating there is only support for one node: `StartNode -> Start`, `StopNode -> Stop` etc.
+1. Allow starting and stopping associated managers (`jail.Manager` and `transactions.Manager`).
+
+### Iteration 6: A PR in status-react
+Goal Date: 2018-04-13
+
+Description:
+A PR in status-react is created with updated status-go version.
+
+## Success Metrics
+1. A tree of module dependencies is hugely simplified,
+1. All tests pass,
+1. There are no race conditions in tests.
+
+## Exit criteria
+1. All iterations are done. There is no threat that they can't be finished.
+1. New version of status-go is merged into `status-react` develop branch.
