+# Structuring the System Layer with Dataspaces
+
+In this project, Dataspace theory will be co-developed with new system
+layer software in the setting of the user interface to and management
+of a cellular telephone.
+
+The expected project outcomes are:
+
+ 1. A capability-based security model for Dataspaces
+ 2. A proof-of-concept dataspace-based system layer for a mobile phone
+ 3. A qualitative evaluation of the suitability of the Dataspace model
+    as structuring principle for system layers
+
+The following artifacts are expected to realise the outcomes of the
+project:
+
+ 1. Documents describing the theory of capabilities as applied to Dataspaces
+ 2. Dataspace implementations reflecting this theory
+ 3. Documents analysing the elements of a selection of existing system layers
+ 4. Protocols capturing a synthesis of system layer behaviours, based on the analysis
+ 5. A system layer implementation making use of Dataspaces
+ 6. Associated demos and case studies
+ 7. A website gathering together all project material
+ 8. Software releases and developer-focused documentation
+
+## Subtasks
+
+ 1. ✓ Project infrastructure setup
+    - Project website up under the umbrella of https://syndicate-lang.org/
+    - Project blog created
+    - Software Bill of Materials
+
+ 2. Capability theory
+    - Description of Dataspace interaction model augmented with
+      “data-capabilities” authorizing interaction within a dataspace
+
+ 3. ✓ Rust Dataspace infrastructure
+    - Dataspace implementation for dataspace-based Rust programming
+    - Implementation of Dataspace protocol in Rust
+
+ 4. Smalltalk Dataspace infrastructure
+    - Dataspace implementation for dataspace-based Squeak Smalltalk programming
+    - Implementation of Dataspace protocol in Smalltalk
+
+ 5. ✓ Demo of capability-secure Dataspace interaction
+
+ 6. PostmarketOS (pmOS) infrastructure
+    - pmOS booting on cellphone to modified environment
+    - Scripts for packaging of on-phone artifacts
+
+ 7. Demo exercising phone infrastructure
+
+ 8. Dataspace Protocol specification
+    - Draft specification of interaction protocols for secure
+      inter-process and inter-machine dataspace interaction
+
+ 9. ✓ Dataspace “message bus”
+    - Standalone on-phone generic Dataspace “message bus” service for
+      coordinating system-layer activity
+    - Implements Dataspace Protocol
+
+ 10. Analysis of existing system-layers
+    - Survey of a selection of system-layer components
+    - Classification and categorisation of functionality
+
+ 11. Synthesis of system-layer functionality
+    - Development and description of Dataspace interaction protocols
+      capturing system-layer features
+
+ 12. Prototyping of Dataspace system layer
+    - Development and description of mobile-phone-specific Dataspace
+      interaction protocols
+    - Development of generic system-layer components
+    - Development of mobile-phone-specific components
+
+ 13. Demo exercising realised system layer
+
+ 14. Security & accessibility review
+    - Security review of items 8, 9 and 12 would be most worthwhile.
+    - Accessibility review of web content is likely to be trivial;
+      review of the UI content of items 13 and 7 may be worthwhile
+      (though user interface is not a focus of the project).
