# minikube roadmap (2019)
This roadmap is a living document outlining the major technical improvements which we would like to see in minikube during 2019, divided by how they apply to our [guiding principles](principles.md)
Please send a PR to suggest any improvements to it.
## (#1) User-friendly and accessible
- [ ] Creation of a user-centric minikube website for installation & documentation
- [ ] Localized output to 5+ written languages
- [x] Make minikube usable in environments with challenging connectivity requirements
- [ ] Support lightweight deployment methods for environments where VM's are impractical
- [x] Add offline support
## (#2) Inclusive and community-driven
- [x] Increase community involvement in planning and decision making
- [ ] Make the continuous integration and release infrastructure publicly available
- [x] Double the number of active maintainers
## (#3) Cross-platform
- [ ] Simplified installation process across all supported platforms
- [ ] Users should never need to separately install supporting binaries
## (#4) Support all Kubernetes features
- [ ] Add multi-node support
## (#5) High-fidelity
- [ ] Reduce guest VM overhead by 50%
- [x] Disable swap in the guest VM
## (#6) Compatible with all supported Kubernetes releases
- [x] Continuous Integration testing across all supported Kubernetes releases
- [ ] Automatic PR generation for updating the default Kubernetes release minikube uses
## (#7) Support for all Kubernetes-friendly container runtimes
