The first step should certainly be on the mailing list, ie deciding
what this might be and how it might look.
Andrew's comments were very good and hit the point well that OFBiz is
community driven in a very real way, ie in that it is driven by both
community needs and community contributions. There is no budget, no
dedicated hours from any individual or company, or any other resource
to work on project priorities.
I would love for that to change (especially if I was the beneficiary
of some of that change... ;) ), but that's the way it is now, and it
has actually worked out pretty well. It means future things are very
unpredictable, although the volume has been pretty good over time
with lots of good stuff coming into the project.
So, right now the "roadmap" is on this page, which has been there for
quite a while:
http://incubator.apache.org/ofbiz/comingsoon.html
I'm not at all opposed to an effort to try to create such a thing. Is
this something you would be interested in doing Chris?

because lack of resources and interest, I wonder if
it's about time to discuss a roadmap of
features/methodologies/concepts/goals for future
releases.
Also what medium that discussion should take place in.
(personally think the mailing list is a bit
restrictive for the kinds of broader discussions that
would be taking place, JIRA with subtasks seems more
appropriate but would like feedback)
