The plan is to have in few weeks a first complete MeeGo release followed
by a roadmap to work on the next release. Once this is out the MeeGo
project shouldn't have any obstacle to have all the daily work and
routines in the open.

There might still be some areas under the shadow, but always related to
new developments e.g. imagine the arrival of a new cool UX category or
key platform feature. Once they are released they go to open business as
usual.

All this is related to two main factors:

- One that is quite unique now: two big teams having to sync on 1001
little things before going public & common.

- One that will be around basically always: marketing factors making
company X or even the MeeGo project itself to go for a sound release
instead of an open development since the first line of code.
