We definately should be aiming to have everything in JIRA (even non coding tasks such as these suggestions, so we remember to do them and know who is working on them or plans to work on them). Geir, are you planning on taking the items in your roadmap ( http://geronimo.apache.org/roadmap.html ) and creating JIRA issues for them (if there aren't ones already created) and assigning them to versions in JIRA? I think if we could do that it would open up discussion on priorities of the items. It would also allow users to vote on issues through JIRA. The high level Wiki roadmap ( http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/RoadMap ) is useful, but it probably needs to be structured so it is associated with a version, so one can see what the status of M3, M4 etc is. It should also be moved to a more obvious (and higher profile) location than under the "Developer information" heading on the Wiki. > > 2.
