If I don’t make it to the IRC meeting here are my thoughts: A roadmap sounds like something that could spark useful discussion on where we want to go. I have no problem with the current way of doing things, but I do occasionally get the feeling that I don’t see the big picture of what’s planned and down what path that development is taking Koha. Sometimes decisions get taken just by small stuff like adding a nifty little feature that makes our users expect even more features in the that area. I do see scenarios where a roadmap/central planning of development could become a problem, but from the description it sounds like a good idea. > Therefore we propose two new roles in the community release team.

Both these two areas could use a boost so I approve. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
