Roadmap

Six milestones from v0.1 MVP to v2.5 AI assistant over 30 months.

91%

v1.0 shipped 2026-04-26 — 53/58 items done across v0.1 → v1.0

Built fully open-source. Phases stay concrete; anything past v1.0 depends on external licensing, funding or governance.

Last updated: 2026-04-25

v0.1 → v1.0 code-complete in this push. Items marked done include features whose schema, RLS, Edge Function code, and client UI are all shipped to main. Items marked 'blocked' need an external action: API keys, Cornell BirdNET license, ML model training, Apple Developer account, Cloudflare R2 account + DNS, etc. Phases v1.5–v2.5 remain unchanged from prior plan. | 2026-04-25: First real user onboarding session (Eugenio Padilla). 10 bugs found and fixed, 5 new modules designed. Module 14 (User API Tokens) shipped. WebLLM set as default fallback. Identification block added to obs form.

v0.5 Beta Partial

Months 6–8

shipped (engineering); 2 items deferred to operator action — see gbif-ipt and local-contexts blockers

11/13

items

Multi-image observations

Ecological evidence fields (track/scat/burrow/nest/feather/bone/sound/camera_trap)

39 seed badges + nightly evaluator Edge Function

WebLLM Phi-3.5-vision fallback ID (opt-in, confidence ≤ 0.4)

Per-plugin BYO API keys with guided setup (module 13)

BirdNET-Lite audio ID (Cornell Lab CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, ONNX hosted on R2, on-device inference via onnxruntime-web)

GBIF IPT pilot publish (Darwin Core Archive ZIP)

Blocked by: GBIF publisher account + IPT host (DwC-A generator landed)

Local Contexts BC/TK Notice integration

Blocked by: Governance track — community consent before code

User API tokens (module 14) — personal rst_xxxx tokens, scoped, SHA-256 hashed

Token-authenticated REST API: /api/observe, /api/identify, /api/observations, /api/export

Token management UI at /perfil/tokens (ES) and /profile/tokens (EN)

v1.0 Public Launch Partial

Months 9–14

shipped (2026-04-26); 2 items deferred — capacitor-ios is v1.2, oauth-custom-domain requires Supabase Pro ($25/mo, deferred for zero-cost target)

17/20

items

Opt-in streaks + grace window + recompute Edge Function

Observation share/obs/{id}.png OG card Edge Function + public page

Follows + comments + watchlists schema (UI for follows/comments TBD)

Expert taxonomic weighting (3×) in consensus computation

Bioblitz events — schema (events table + region polygon + RLS)

Bioblitz events — UI (event detail page, live aggregates, participation badges)

Blocked by: Build when first community organizer requests one — speculative without a pilot event

DwC + SNIB + CONANP CSV presets

credentialed_researcher flag + RLS gate for precise coords on sensitive obs

Lunar phase + OpenMeteo weather Edge Function (auto-fires on sync)

Video support ≤30s (H.265/AV1)

Camera trap ingestion (MegaDetector v5a INT8 ONNX hosted on R2, batch importer at /profile/import/camera-trap, plugin in cascade for evidence_type='camera_trap')

Capacitor iOS App Store wrapper (v1.2)

Blocked by: Apple Developer Program ($99/yr) + Capacitor build pipeline

UI for follows + threaded comments + watchlist alerts

Interactive map picker for observation location (drag pin, tap to place, search locality)

Personal observation list/history page (/perfil/observaciones) with status and thumbnails

In-app camera via getUserMedia API with fallback to file input capture=environment

Batch photo importer with EXIF GPS/datetime extraction (module 19) — Google Photos, Drive, file upload

Custom auth domain on Supabase OAuth (auth.rastrum.org instead of raw Supabase URL)

Blocked by: Supabase Pro plan ($25/mo) — deferred for zero-cost target

MCP server for AI agents (JSON-RPC over HTTP at /functions/v1/mcp)

Migrate canonical domain to rastrum.org (was rastrum.artemiop.com)

v1.5 Territory Layer Planned

Months 12–16 (parallel to v1.0)

0/6

items

Rastrum Scout v0 (conversational ID, pgvector RAG)

Blocked by: pgvector extension on Supabase + embedding corpus (taxa descriptions) — separate ML project; reshelved from v0.5 to v1.5 since core photo/audio cascade is sufficient for v1.0

Biodiversity Trails with GPS waypoints + diversity metrics

PITs + QR/NFC anchors (Puntos de Información Territorial)

Spatial analysis: ANP/INEGI/INAH GeoJSON layers

Diversity indices: S, H', D, Chao1, Pielou J

Trail PDF export (field guide style)

v2.0 Institutional Planned

Months 17–22

0/6

items

Camera trap: occupancy modeling, activity histograms

GBIF dataset publisher + DOI generation

Regional ML training pipeline (Oaxaca-endemic focus)

Regional ONNX packs (Oaxaca, Yucatán) — output of regional-ml pipeline

Blocked by: Depends on regional-ml training pipeline; reshelved from v0.5 to v2.0 since the generic onnx-base (EfficientNet-Lite0) covers v1.0

B2G SaaS dashboard for CONANP / state agencies

iNaturalist import/export bridge

v2.5 AI + AR Planned

Months 23–32

0/4

items

Rastrum Scout — full conversational field AI (RAG + pgvector)

AR species overlay in camera viewfinder

Indigenous language voice I/O (Zapoteco, Mixteco, Maya, Náhuatl)

Formal CONABIO/CONANP/INAH partnership APIs

Governance & sovereignty (parallel to all product phases)

Governance work runs continuously alongside the product roadmap. Milestones have no shipping date — they complete when community consent + legal review land.

Zapoteco UI pilot — Free, Prior, Informed Consent process

Local Contexts BC/TK Notice integration

Indigenous Data Sovereignty (CARE principles) policy

Observer license framework (CC BY / BY-NC / CC0) + ML training gates

BirdNET Cornell commercial license (only needed for v2.0 B2G dashboard)
