Helps if my spellchecker doesn’t think it knows better than I which word to 
use, too. I meant that we can put up plans—not detailed schema nor schedules, 
but something closer to aspirations, say 'wish lists"—where they are visible to 
developers.

It’s useful to pry the two apart from a marketing perspective and also product 
management one. The idea is to attract developer interest. That can be done on 
several levels. One is more abstract than the other and would reach a different 
audience.
