Its relatively easy for a Business to develop a roadmap, since the
managers delegate their programmers to work on specific features ... in
the case of an OSS project, there are no "assignment of features to work
on" happening ... ppl work on what is of interest to them ... so coming up
with anything more then a 'vapor-roadmap' is impossible ...

However, we also need to know why business people want

Roadmap can be changed, but still roadmap is necessary
for some kind of users.
Absolutely.
The Bitmap Index and Sort improvements are features that we have been
developing for the last 10 months based directly on discussions with
business customers. They will be release with Bizgres 0.9 next week, and
contributed to Postgres shortly thereafter (sort already is).
Others on our list of customer driven roadmap items:
- OLAP functions: CUBE, ROLLUP, RANK
- Resource management, incl. dynamic memory management and statement
queueing
- Postgres intrinsic log-shipping replication (we have one to contribute)
- Transparent DML on partitions
Whether these get into 8.2 or not, I'd welcome developer discussion. We are
initiating some planning sessions in mid-April for the next 4-6 months of
development.
