As soon as feature X does not depend on other features scheduled for Q3 2013, I do believe that this developer's work is more than welcome :-) I would also hope that such developer will be sharing his intentions *before* starting the actual implementation, so that we can still have a community-driven build. Moreover, I do think we should keep re-discussing the roadmap (for next releases) as needed. In my opinion, we should keep this wiki page updated - and aligned with JIRA - in order to: * provide some general reference and insights about our plans to (potential) users * serve to us as a reference map to know where we are going Regards. > On Mon, May 28, 2012 at 11:59 AM, Francesco Chicchiriccò < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> waiting for 1.0.0-RC1 to be voted on general@incubator ML, I've spent >> some time with Fabio trying to elaborate the features gathered so far for >> our roadmap; results are available at [1]. >> >> My idea is to take this as a starting ground for discussing our actual >> release plan; some constraints / assumptions were taken while reviewing [1]: >> >> 1.
