Development Roadmap
Where WAMF is today, and where it is heading.
WAMF is under active development. This roadmap reflects the current
direction of the project, but priorities may evolve through real-world
testing, feedback and practical use.
Current Focus
v0.4 – Platform Stabilisation
The current release focuses on delivering a stable foundation for WAMF,
improving reliability, usability and deployment for self-hosted wildlife
monitoring.
- Stable Frigate event processing
- AI bird species identification
- Observation storage using SQLite
- Snapshot and clip archiving
- Media retention tools
- Recent detections interface
- Activity views
- Species metadata and reference information
- Health and status endpoints
- Admin tools
- Docker deployment testing
- Public website and documentation foundations
Next Release
v0.5 – Extensibility and Observation Management
The v0.5 release is planned to improve WAMF’s internal structure and make
observations easier to explore.
- Detection abstraction layer
- Capture source abstraction
- Cleaner internal provider interfaces
- Improved API consistency
- Observation Explorer
- Filtering by species
- Filtering by date range
- Filtering by confidence
- Improved observation browsing
- Documentation updates for developers and users
Planned
v0.6 – Edge Devices and Distributed Capture
The v0.6 release is expected to explore edge devices and distributed
capture workflows.
- Raspberry Pi capture nodes
- Distributed camera sources
- Remote capture devices
- Edge-side capture and processing experiments
- Early support for alternative inference paths
- Better foundations for multi-device deployments
