[Geoprisma-dev] Roadmaps, Releases, and timelines ...

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi devs,

As I jump on GeoPrisma and start planning a new project with GeoPrisma 
at its core, I went searching for Roadmaps, Releases, or timelines and 
didn't find much.

There are also a lot of changes happening to GeoPrisma as it moves into 
a public OpenSource project.

It would be very helpful to have some kind of information about 
Roadmaps, Releases, and timelines or whatever that could be used to 
roughly plan around. Things like when might we see the new 
XMLMapContextConfig, or when might snapping be added to featureCreate 
and featureUpdate widgets or when might the printWidget be released, 
etc. I only use these as examples in general. Actually knowing when 
these are planned for would also be helpful.

I know these things are often subject to change based on funded projects 
that might get dropped into the mix that were not part of the initial 
plan and lots of other things. These are not a problem if we as users 
and project planners get updates when things changes so we can adjust 
our expectations and plans accordingly.

It would be good to just know:

Next release is version ... with ballpark freeze, beta, rc1 dates of ....
We plan to have x, y and z enhancements and maybe others
We plan to tackle bugs .... and maybe others

Just thinking out loud about process and getting more visibility into 
what is happening when.

Best regards,
