There has been [some discussion on the TOB mailing list](https://groups.google.com/a/opencontainers.org/d/msg/tob/A3JnmI-D-6Y/tLuptPDHAgAJ) to make distribution an optional layer, but this topic is a work in progress. -**Q: Why a new project?** - -A: The [first OCI spec](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec) centered around defining the run side of a container. -This is generally seen to be an orthogonal concern to the shipping container component. -As practical examples of this separation you see many organizations separating these concerns into different teams and organizations: the Docker Distribution project and the Docker containerd project; Amazon ECS and Amazon EC2 Container Registry, etc. - -**Q: Why work on this?** - -A: We are seeing many independent implementations of container image handling including build systems, registries, and image analysis tools. -As an organization we would like to encourage this growth and bring people together to ensure a technically correct and open specification continues to evolve reflecting the OCI values. - **Q: What happens to AppC or Docker Image Formats?** A: Existing formats can continue to be a proving ground for technologies, as needed. The OCI Image Format project strives to provide a dependable open specification that can be shared between different tools and be evolved for years or decades of compatibility; as the deb and rpm format have. +Find more [FAQ on the OCI site](https://www.opencontainers.org/faq). + ## Roadmap The [GitHub milestones](https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/milestones) lay out the path to the OCI v1.0.0 release in late 2016.
