Development roadmap

  https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/confluence/display/NDS/2017-10-19+Roadmap

1. Exporting docker image from workbench
   1. Need to find a use case? Best example is exporting data from workshop. But not customized software.
   2. seed can export a docker container with messaging service and extractors. Workbench could allow you to change these extractors.. but doesn't happen very often.
   3. Original vision of tool for cyberinfrastructure dev, but focused a lot now on researchers
2. Dataset list + launch analyses
   
   1. Now have NDS data page: http://www.nationaldataservice.org/data/
      1. Designed to get discussion going, dont quite fit traditional repository model
   2. Quick start functionality
   3. Investigating providing MDF forge tutorial in workbench
   4. This is a stop gap interested in steps to get towards DataDNS
      1. Talked about enabling linkage into workbench
