Maven Central Roadmap: A First Look

While we are beginning to think about Maven Central and Sigstore, there are a few other important milestones that will precede this work. Through the feedback we’ve received over the past few years, we recognize that the workflows for publishers to manage their components, and the metadata around them, was similar to what the typical consumer wants to see about components… just in read only mode.

So we’re starting with those common, read-only capabilities as the first milestone in our work - the delivery of this UI and set of services will provide scaffolding for future work around publisher services, identity management, and streamlined publishing API.

We can’t wait to share our work with you as soon as we can, on the order of weeks to months. In the meantime - some screenshots of what’s coming:
