The roadmap does not have an Inkscape 1.0 Stable Release on it.
I think Inkscape is great, and I think there could easily be a release of Inkscape 1.0 Stable in under six months. I dont think this would require much deviation from the existing roadmap just a little extra push for stability and deciding which features are exactly needed to declare 1.0.
My take on it is that we'd might end up just like Subversion.
If you take a look at their project status history, their versioning is quite clear:
0.17 ... 0.30 0.31 0.32.1 0.33 0.33.1 0.34 0.35 Beta 0.35.1 0.36 0.37 1.0.0 beta1 1.0.0
So... taken in hand with things like the studies Peopleware cites where developers were *most* productive when there is no schedule at all... the general impression I had was that we'll just go along making things better, and at some point we'll decide that there are enough features and enough robustness to declare the 'next' version to be 1.0 candidates. No preassure, just do good work and eventually it will be taken up by "the public"
In other words, we'll take our time and number as we have been going, and then renumber once it just happens to become a "1.0 candidate"
