We use the JIRA roadmap. I'd be surprised if this is far different
from what you are doing, with the exception that:
- we are currently stalled. There is no trunk activity because our
focus is elsewhere (if anyone has time to pick things up and run with
them, great! No need to wait for the rest of us :)
- we only really start putting dates to things once there is some
momentum, and that's when the feature cull happens and it gets
constantly reviewed to try and get things happening regularly.

But I'm not adverse to having more visible documentation of what we
have to do and when we think we might be able to do it. It will help
getting people focused on things, and introduce a way in for
contributors.

I expect this to become much more prevalent soon as Continuum is
getting the features we need to support it.

Ok, how can we help get you started?
