  This page is not intended to contain information about developing Sophie2. Most of the important documents are located in [wiki:SCS_SITE_DESIGN/DevelopmentHome Developers' Home]. However, the  [wiki:DEVELOPMENT_OVERVIEW Development Overview] page might be what you need. It contains a brief tutorial for getting into the development of Sophie2.

+ * '''Structure'''. The Sophie2 platform consists of a set of bundles with specific functionality. Since it is a complete desktop publishing solution, some users may not need all of its features (for example, you do not need the Sophie2 server in order to read a book). This issue is resolved by the edition structure of Sophie: every edition is a stand-alone subset of  these bundles. Sophie2 has 3 editions: Author, Reader and Server (their names are determinative for the functionality they provide).
 
- * '''Schedule'''. Sophie2's development process will take about 1 year, starting from October 2008. This period is split into 12 shorter ones, called "iterations" (each iteration lasts about a month). During this time, more than 1500 tasks are going to be done. Every task has 3 major phases: analysis (defining what will be done), design (defining how to be done) and implementation (the actual work). The release schedule of the project is defined as follows:

The release schedule of the project is defined as follows: 
   * '''pre''' - iterations 1-5. At the end of this phase, the product must have stable internal architecture (this includes mainly the plugin decomposition).
   * '''alpha''' - iterations 6-8. Massive changes are expected here, but only external ones. After the end of the alphas, we will stop adding new features.

  This methodology, as you see, is quite similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development) SCRUM]. [[BR]]
