= LSDTopoTools 2.0 roadmap

This is a roadmap document so that we (LSDTopoTools developers, which could include anyone) can design LSDTopoTools 2.0.

The feature we would like to have in LSDTopoTools 2.0 are:

• A single repository for all the code (rather than different repositories for different tools).
• More streamlined software distribution. Docker containers that have just the software you need ** One with the standard LSDTT 2.0 build, so FFTW only. One with the point cloud library (for terrace and point cloud tools) One with the python scripts One with the ruby tools for documentation A conda distribution Installation that puts the programs in one's path so that they can call LSDTopoTools 2.0 from anywhere within their file system (like GDAL). *** We will need to change all the driver functions so they take 0, 1,or 2 arguments. 0 arguments looks for a default parameter file in the current directory. 1 argument a named parameter file, 2 arguments the directory of the parameter file and the parameter file itself.
• All of this with updated documentation reflecting LSDTopoTools 2.0 structure.
