Roadmap

The full roadmap lives in ROADMAP.md. This page is a short summary so the docs site reflects the same direction as the GitHub root.

The roadmap is directional, not committed delivery. Items move between phases as the project evolves and as contributors take on different areas.

Near-term

  • Keep make check fully green (ruff, mypy --strict, bandit, pytest with --cov-fail-under=78).
  • Improve ICONTEC examples for Colombian academic workflows (thesis chapters, anteproyectos, working papers).
  • Add the Windows installation guide.
  • Improve Pandoc installation docs for common Linux distros and macOS.
  • Add sample thesis / research templates.
  • Improve error messages (missing Pandoc, malformed metadata, unsupported style).
  • Improve PDF output verification.

Mid-term

  • MLA citation standard support.
  • Better bibliography and CSL examples.
  • More table and caption regression tests.
  • Spanish-language documentation for the LATAM audience.
  • Improved CLI UX (defaults, progress messages, --diagnose flag).

Long-term

  • Plugin / template architecture so universities and research groups can publish their own formatting rules without forking the project.
  • University-specific templates contributed by the community.
  • Lightweight editor integrations (VS Code, Obsidian, and similar).
  • Community-maintained standard packs.

How to influence this roadmap

Open an issue or start a discussion. Contributions that align with items above are very welcome, but the project is open to well-scoped ideas outside this list too.
