Well, there isn't really a plan to make a "finished" product. The plan is more just to add content/mechanics and improve things until there is enough user interest to demonstrate the core point of the design (that is, servers with hundreds of concurrent users, etc). The plan is to keep enough ideas in plan for at least one more release at all times (currently, the next 2 released have been spec'ed out).

There are eventual plans to move to a new iteration of all of this, with some core engine modifications, but that is a long ways off. I still want to prove the basics before finishing that plan.

The goals of the broader OctoberProject are to: (1) Demonstrate and test some software design ideas at scale and (2) to flag down people who might be interested in complex technical discussions.
