Roadmap
The Roadmap aims to set out when certain features will appear. It reduces in clarity the further we go into the future, and is constantly being added to as we move forward.
If you're just looking to find out whether a feature is likely to end up in core or not, then take a look at the planned features page. It's just a list, but we're adding more detail to it as we go.
Update: In order to deliver 0.4 this year, we have decided to cull a large body of work and focus on closing the milestone. This includes culling all work to do with the App API. We are going to aim to deliver a shorter cycle for 0.5 which focuses solely on the App API, and all of the work around i18n and multi-user that was scheduled for 0.5 will now be moved to 0.6.
Milestone 4 will result in version 0.4.0 of Ghost. This is the current milestone.
This version focuses around the App API, import tools and adding functionality which has been heavily requested during the launch phases.
Milestone 4 is the first milestone which is not only after the public launch, but also developed in the open allowing anyone to get involved. This means that Milestone 4 has a heavy focus on architecture, further improving the Ghost internals, making it easier to work with, and adding non-user-facing features that will help Ghost to grow new features quickly in the future.
We also plan to make our Ghost Developer Tools, or the API for building Apps, available at the end of this milestone, so that developers can start building Apps to extend Ghost's functionality. This too requires a focus on the Ghost internals.
There are also a number of important enhancements and features we want to add to the publishing experience, to reduce user frustration wherever possible.
Getting Apps off the ground:
