Roadmap

Timeline · Versions · Vision

Evolution of the encyclopedia by release generations. V1 is what you use today; V2 and V3 sketch the next milestones. Priorities may shift; the line of march stays clear.

Release timeline

V1 Shipped

Foundation live

Core encyclopedia online today.

  • Napoleon biography hub (dedicated page, enriched layout)
  • Character index and detailed sheets (imperial family, marshals and ministers started)
  • Five major battle deep-dives (Austerlitz, Waterloo, Jena, Wagram, Borodino / Moskova)
  • Events timeline, interactive genealogy, Grande Armée, places, symbols
  • Articles, shop placeholder, legal pages in FR / EN / DE / ES / IT
  • Wikipedia-style internal links, SEO base (meta, sitemap, hreflang)
V2 Next

Depth & experience

Targeted after V1 stabilisation.

  • Rich character pages at scale (marshals, allies, major figures)
  • More battles and campaigns (Italy, Egypt, Spain, Germany, Russia…)
  • Real interactive maps (e.g. Leaflet / Mapbox) alongside or instead of static maps
  • AdSense and affiliate IDs wired for production
  • Performance & a11y: strong Core Web Vitals
V3 Vision

Reference & languages

Longer horizon.

  • Sovereigns, allied commanders, ministers, diplomats, artists and scholars
  • Institutions, daily life, thematic deep collections
  • Expanded DE / ES / IT body content (beyond legal and shell)
  • Continuous fact-checking and source discipline across all locales

The internal roadmap tracks hundreds of named entries; this V3 block states direction, not a fixed delivery date.

Editorial note

The granular checklist for contributors lives in the repository (CONTENT_ROADMAP.md). This timeline is the public summary.
