It would be nice to be able to visit www.gentoo.org and see a roadmap of |
| 8 |
desired (major) functionality in the up-coming Gentoo releases. The |
| 9 |
things detailed in previous e-mails to this list, as well as the other |
| 10 |
major functionality differences (ie; GCC 3) would be fantastic. |

I'd also like to see, even if it's not quite so prevalent on the page, a |
| 13 |
Portage roadmap. Every time somebody mentions the Portage changes, |
| 14 |
they're pointed to the CVS commit log. Frankly, that's not good enough |
| 15 |
for new users, corporate users (sponsors?), or, really, any |
| 16 |
non-developers. A roadmap of major development to the core of our |
| 17 |
distribution would be helpful, rather than having major functionality |
| 18 |
sprung on us. I'll bet most users don't know about such changes until |
| 19 |
the (beeping) einfo at the end of the portage update. |

As far as releases go, the Mozilla project has a great roadmap, found |
| 22 |
here; <http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html> detailing goals and |
| 23 |
explanations of each, as well as a listing of primary developers. |
