Operational Goals
Mapping the API design goals to the API implementation requires that some short term goals are defined in order to produce a first usable implementation. Such implementation will provide a feedback loop that will be incorporated in the API evolution to reach the production quality level necessary for wider adoption.
The short term or operational goals are:
The first reference implementation will support the Linux OS.
The C++ language will have the first wrapper API to support the System API.
At least interfaces must be documented.
The API will be delivered as a shared library.
Interfaces shall have Unit Tests.
