From the 2.0 Roadmap discussion on the mailing list, it seems that the Continuum's architecture needs a review and possible rework. Following are the some of the items that community is keen to see:

• make extending Continuum (or writing plugin/modules) a low learning-curve activity.
• Leverage more Java 5 language features.
• Encourage more contributions by using tools/libraries that have a good user base.
• Pluggable architecture; possibly using OSGi to support dynamic management of modules/plugins with an aim to keep Continuum lightweight and distributed.
• Layered architecture such that the underlying infrastructure can be used with different presentation tiers. Consider using REST-based architecture.
• Review and simplify Continuum and ContinuumStore interfaces into interface(s) which is/are less verbose.
• Review and update Continuum Object Model in light of lessons learned from earlier 1.x
• Introduce features - Reporting improvements, Remote access and monitoring.
• Improve User and Developer documentation. Well documented source code.
• More frequent release cycles leading to 2.0
• User interface and performance improvements
• Reporting improvements
  • Integrate with Change/Issue management systems to display issues fixed or worked on in a build.
