Roadmap

For a complete history of NAV, see HistoryOfNAV. The first official open source version of NAV was NAV 3.0.

Where is NAV going?

NAV has a long history and a lot of code to maintain. Our current strategy is this:

  • Let there be no doubt; our focus is on network management
  • NAV's key strength is on detecting network topology, tracking machines and visualizing the network.
  • We will focus on supporting commonly deployed network equipment.
  • Better wireless support is on our roadmap
  • Reducing complexity is important, both in terms of installing and using NAV.
  • We will stop developing (but bug fix) our service monitor. Other tools, i.e. Hobbit, do this better.
  • We will remove our (primitive) ordering system. NAV is not the right tool for this.
