Hi all, We made an attempt at putting together a sort of roadmap [1] in the past and also some wide-ranging threads about what could be on it [2]. and I think we should pick it up again. The description I really liked was "strategic and user impacting initiatives (ongoing and future) in an easy to consume format" [3]. It seems that we had feedback asking for a Roadmap at the London summit [4].
I would like to first focus on meta-questions rather than what would be on it: - What style / format should it have to be most useful for users? - Where should it be presented? I asked a couple people to try to find the roadmap on the web site, as a test, and they didn't really know which tab to click on first, so that's a starting problem. They didn't even find Works In Progress [5] after clicking Contribute. The level of detail of that list varies widely. I'd also love to see hypothetical formats for it, to see how to balance pithiness with crucial details.
