[RFC] Project roadmap

[TAJD]

This issue is a request for comment to solicit ideas and feedback for taking Python VPP to a first release.

Work is planned over three themes:

1. Functionality, to improve accuracy of and the number of different performance models that can be used.
2. User experience. Users should be able to easily use Python VPP. This means that there should be clear documentation and tutorials for the main use cases.
3. Delivery.

Functionality

• Clear automated benchmarking for performance

User experience

• Documentation
• Tutorials
• Contributions guide

Delivery

• Refactor application to be a clearer Python package
• Implement a PR pipeline that applies/checks if isort, black and mypy have been applied. Ruff is another alternative.
