Goals
- Initial open release of Brown Dog
- Highlight what can be done with a Data Transformation Service through an initial suite of transformation tools, a number of sample clients, and sample data allowing a user to quickly try things out
Background and strategic fit
The beta release will:
- Provide the community with a first glimpse of Brown Dog
- Allow the Brown Dog team to increase exposure through presentations and hands on tutorials
- Allow the team to identify bugs through real world usage and harden the service towards a 1.0 release
Assumptions
- Many users will want to try out the system without too much effort
- Will need to support very novice users (easy to use interfaces/samples)
- Some users will begin to regularly use the system, throwing many requests at the service
