There's no official roadmap, at least not one I'm aware of. The initial development was driven by missing features that developers themselves needed, then features were added that were requested and seemed useful to a majority of users. Lately, we're getting more conservative with regards to feature additions, some think we've already bloated the filter in some areas. It's more like a tree whose branches grow in different directions, sometimes there's a small or larger growth in one direction, sometimes additions are cut because they make look like uncontrolled growth :) There are certainly some larger goals that have not been achieved yet, like redundancy/failover, load balancing, proxies for further protocols, altq integration, etc. If you want to contribute, you're welcome to start collecting things that people are still missing, weed out what is unrealistic (or just plain refused for some more or less rational reason), and order them according to difficulty or priority. In general, if I have a clear picture of what I want to add and how I'm going to do it (which is my definition of roadmap), I go and implement it, and my stack of such plans is not very high right now.
