Hello,
does someone will update the roadmap page ? It still lists the 0.42 as next goal.
Okay, I'll take care of updating it. But I need some advice and opinions.
I've reshuffled things so that we have all DONE tasks for 0.42 and 0.43, so we can move those milestones off to the history page.
I went ahead and moved 0.42 didn't want to move 0.43 until it was released.
However, I need to know people's desires for what we want to do going forward.
The main issue is that we need a compelling objective to focus on for the coming year; something that most of us would be motivated to work on, and that needs a team effort (as opposed to simply requiring one of our several UberHackers to knock out over a couple weekends!)
A roadmap is more than just a todo list; if that's all we needed, then we'd not need anything more than the Bug/RFE tracker. A roadmap is supposed to be a longer range, larger scope thing that helps guide us to some goal far in the distance. It's a blueprint we can use to enable ourselves to achieve something extremely ambitious.
So anyway, what largish objectives do folks feel like having our project focus on for the next year or so? What would you all like to contribute to as a team?
Animation is a pretty Large goal.
Full SVG Tiny support is a smaller goal, and looking back at implementing the SVG specifications seems like a good way to refocus Inkscape on its core goals.
Need I say more?
