MySQL Sandbox - planning for 2.0

Taking advantage of Launchpad environment, I started paving the way for version 2.0 of MySQL Sandbox.
I opened a new branch for version 2.0, which currently holds 1.99.1, and I listed the necessary tasks using the built-in blueprints feature.

So now I have a list of tasks to keep track of the development.

• implement test suite (have a good prototype - I am getting to it)
• replace sleep with check loop (thinking - some analysis required)
• create function library (good progress)
• script to kill unresponsive servers (good progress)
• remote sandbox installer (thinking - hard to implement without being intrusive)
• allow url for tarball (thinking - needs external components)
• define circular replication (thinking - easily doable)
• refactoring for internationalization (thinking - easily doable - long task)

The above features should all go to version 2, although the list is still open. No feature freeze has been called. It's still alpha.
I am unsure about the remote installer. I have implemented such a feature a few years ago, and it turned out to be quite intrusive (the choice was between being intrusive and fragile). I may consider making it a plugin or moving it to a later version. Still thinking.

The development model is open. If you use the Sandbox and want to submit a patch or have comments on its development plans, please contribute!
