Yes, thanks for sharing this roadmap, moon!

I don’t know what the “Sidebar with plugin widget” item was referring to, but 
navigation within large notebooks could definitely be improved. E.g., add a 
clickable outline view in a sidebar, like Jupyter does, which can be used to 
jump straight to a section.  Maybe add collapsible sections too, which could 
encompass multiple paragraphs.  Many users, including me, currently waste lots 
of time scrolling up and down within notebooks at the moment.

But this is a minor gripe as I think Zeppelin is a great tool and is growing 
well!

Thanks, Lucas.

Subject: EXT: [DISCUSS] Roadmap 0.9 and future

Hi forks,

There were an offline meeting yesterday at PaloAlto with contributors and 
users. We've shared idea about current state of project and future project 
roadmap and wishlists (meeting note [1]). It was really inspiring and exciting 
time. Let me try summarize, move this discussion to online.

There were many ideas related to Interpreter. Especially, there were consensus 
that Spark support is one of biggest strength of Zeppelin and need to make 
further improvement to keep the strengths.

  *   Spark

     *   Immediate support of new spark release
     *   Ramp up support of current Spark feature (e.g. Display job progress 
correctly)
     *   Spark streaming support
     *   Handling Livy timeout

  *   Other interpreters

     *   Better Hive support (e.g. configuration)
     *   Latest version PrestoDB support (pass property correctly)

  *   Run interpreter in containerized environment
  *   Let individual user upload custom library from user's machine directly
  *   Interpreter documentation is not detail enough
And people in the meeting excited about ConInterpreter ZEPPELIN-3085 [2] in 
upcoming release, regarding dynamic/inline configuration of interpreter.

And there were ideas on other areas, too. like

  *   Separate Admin role and user role
  *   Sidebar with plugin widget
  *   Better integration with emerging framework like Tensorflow/MXNet/Ray
  *   Sharing data
  *   Schedule notebook from external scheduler
Regarding scheduling notebook, Luciano shared his project NotebookTools[3] and 
it made people really excited.

Also, there were inspiring discussions about the community/project. Current 
status and how can we make community/project more healthy. And here's some 
ideas around the topic

  *   Need more frequent release
  *   More attention to code review to speed up
  *   Publishing roadmap beforehand to help contribution
  *   'Newbie', 'low hanging fruit' tag helps contribution
  *   Enterprise friendly is another biggest strength of Zeppelin (in addition 
to Spark support) need to keep improve.

I probably missed many idea shared yesterday. Please feel free to add/correct 
the summary. Hope more people in the mailinglist join and develop the idea 
together. And I think this discussion can leads community shape 0.9 and future 
version of Zeppelin, and update and publish future roadmap[4].

Best,
moon
