# Roadmap
2015-03-19 01:57:20 +00:00
The Distribution Project consists of several components, some of which are still being defined. This document defines the high-level goals of the project, identifies the current components, and defines the release-relationship to the Docker Platform.
2015-03-19 01:57:20 +00:00
* [Distribution Goals](#distribution-goals)
* [Distribution Components](#distribution-components)
* [Project Planning](#project-planning): release-relationship to the Docker Platform.
## Distribution Goals
- Replace the existing [docker registry](github.com/docker/docker-registry)
implementation as the primary implementation.
- Replace the existing push and pull code in the docker engine with the
distribution package.
- Define a strong data model for distributing docker images
- Provide a flexible distribution tool kit for use in the docker platform

## Distribution Components
2015-03-19 01:57:20 +00:00
Components of the Distribution Project are managed via github [milestones](https://github.com/docker/distribution/milestones). Upcoming
features and bugfixes for a component will be added to the relevant milestone. If a feature or
bugfix is not part of a milestone, it is currently unscheduled for
2015-03-19 01:57:20 +00:00
implementation.
2015-03-19 01:57:20 +00:00
* [Registry](#registry)
* [Distribution Package](#distribution-package)

### Distribution Package
At its core, the Distribution Project is a set of Go packages that make up
Distribution Components. At this time, most of these packages make up the
Registry implementation.
2015-03-19 01:57:20 +00:00
The package itself is considered unstable. If you're using it, please take care to vendor the dependent version.
2015-03-19 01:57:20 +00:00
For feature additions, please see the Registry section. In the future, we may break out a
separate Roadmap for distribution-specific features that apply to more than
just the registry.

### Project Planning
Distribution Components map to Docker Platform Releases via the use of labels. Project Pages are used to define the set of features that are included in each Docker Platform Release.
