I've just added dates for the releases. As for the roadmap we usually never put dates or estimates there.

Although historically we've tried to do BPEL right before implementing enterprise features. But now we have a task manager that's taking shape in the sandbox ( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ode/sandbox/singleshot/), support for several security features has been gradually improved (a recent commit added WS-Security with Rampart) and I think Karthick is working on transaction propagation and atomic scopes (note that we've had transaction support in the engine since day 1). > > Is there also any way to organize the roadmap, so it'll be clearer which > things are done, and what's next?

I've heard of a couple of other names but I don't know what's their respective status so I'll let them speak for themselves.
