Jump to bottom
Eric Bollens edited this page Mar 7, 2015 · 18 revisions

This document is intended to lay out a roadmap of planned development work. We're always looking for people interested in jumping on board, so if you are, check out our development methodology and then jump on in!

Past brainstorming can be found in the previous version of this document and in our old feature brainstorm.
