This wiki is mainly to hold text files that serve as a list of ideas that at some point have been considered for inclusion in xNetHack. They exist on a continuum stretching from "committed and actively being developed" to "rejected" and serve as the project's roadmap.

Why use text files instead of a GitHub project or other kanban board or project management system? Because xNetHack feature development is still largely a solo effort, so many of the upsides of project management tools are irrelevant. Also, there are thousands of items in the "tentatively committed" bin, and that's probably overwhelming. The GitHub wiki feature allows the wiki files to be edited offline as their own separate repository, so it works well.

High-level roadmap

The large scale effort for xNetHack 8.0 is the Gehennom overhaul. Currently, large-scale efforts aren't being planned beyond the next version, except for Quest overhauls. In loose planned order, these are:

• Archeologist (completed in xNetHack 7.0)
• Valkyrie (completed in xNetHack 7.1)
• Monk
• Barbarian
• Ranger
• Knight
• Priest
• Caveman
• Wizard
• Tourist
• Healer
• Samurai
• Rogue
