Agreed - it''s just that such roadmaps can easily fail, if they're too ambitions, and people are disappointed. > ...We just need to be a little careful and make it clear that it's not a > roadmap in the traditional sense ie a list of > features that are planned to be done by a certain date.... Yes, it's more a list of goals and priorities IMO - as the amount of effort that people put into an Apache project is unpredictable, and as reaching consensus sometimes takes longer than expected, I wouldn't put any dates on such a list. If the roadmap is driven by an external entity, please use a distinct name. If Spoon is driving a roadmap/wishlist, calling it "Spoon Roadmap" as John suggests is perfectly fine, calling it "Apache Flex roadmap" is not ok. -Bertrand
