+# PenText Roadmap  
+  
+## Business Goals  
+  
+* Creating a framework for the (largely automatic) generation of computer security and pentest related documents.
+* Users can focus on content and special cases; boilerplate text, generation and design is taken care of by the framework.
+* Platform-independent
+* Open Source  
+  
+## How are we pursuing these goals?  
+  
+### 1. Set of XML templates and snippets
+
+All previously written reports, quotes and invoices are analyzed for clear, well-written, useful snippets, which are maintained and updated as needed in an open Github project (link).
+  
+### 2. Set of XSLT templates
+
+These:
+* Guide user through workflow, from scoping through quote and report to invoice.
+* Generate PDF documents for each of these steps.
+
+### 3. Set of XML Schemas
+
+The schemas can be used to validate any document at any stage of the workflow, ensuring that the document structure provides space for all necessary information contained within it.
+  
+### Set of Python scripts to bridge the usability gap between the user and the saxon/fop command line tools
+
+* docbuilder.py gives the user an interface to build documents without knowledge of the xslt framework or the saxon and fop command line tools
+* validate_report.py adds extra validation to reports beyond the structural soundness checks XML Schema provides
+  
+## Use Cases  
+  
+### Pentesters  
+  
+* Write/Generate Pentest Reports  
+* Have Contracts  
+  
+### Backoffice

+
+* Create Quickscope  
+* Write/Generate Quotes  
+* Write/Generate Rate sheets

+
+#### Financial administration

+* Read Quotes  
+* Read Rate Sheets  
+* Read nvoices  
+  
+## Features  
+  
+### Achieved so far  
+  
+* Full document set in simple layout  
+* Python scripts  
+  
+### Still to do  
+  
+* Make python scripts an installable module that can be used as-is or imported for chatops
+* Define workflows and write high-level documentation of PenText framework (what does what)
+* Finalize new design for all documents
+* Document design customization options (what to change where) 
+* Datasheet/infographic to summarise everything done in pentest.  
+* Improve and complete low-level documentation
