DRAFT -- don't believe a word this says

There are three major areas of development for Launchpad 4.0: getting bugs off Ubuntu, enabling the daily builds story and tighter cross-project collaboration in translations.

Use this page to keep track of what we are planning on doing, and when. If you think "I'd like to know what to expect of Launchpad over the coming months", then this is the page to follow.

This page tries to present a rough roadmap as to how we'll do these. "Dec 2009" means "targeted to the rollout at the end of December 2009". Each month is linked to the Launchpad release milestone for that date, so you can see what we're actually doing.

Note that the dates here aren't actually commitments, they are just our best guesses.

Sometimes we'll do cool stuff and won't note it down here. Follow our blog for things like that.

Month	Bug Q&A	Bug heat	Patch tracking	Translations	Daily Builds	Code imports
Dec 2009	First question for bug Q&A (does this affect you?)	Algorithm design	Patches separate from attachments on bug page	Infrastructure work	Refactoring of build system Recipe schema Recipe UI design	bzr-svn imports
Jan 2010	Q&A UI widget Second bug Q&A question (steps to reproduce?)	Bug heat initial feature-complete UI	List of bugs with patches Badge for bugs with patches in listings	Beta delivery of Gnome direct import	End-to-end recipe building	bzr-hg imports
Feb 2010	Full delivery of Q&A on bug pages Initial cut of exposing bug readiness in listings	Solid delivery & polish of bug heat	DONE	KDE direct import ability Final delivery of GNOME direct import	Recipe workflow UI	Scaling work for code imports bug 236973 and bug 487357
Mar 2010	Full delivery of bug readiness in listings	DONE	DONE	Translation import crowdsourcing Automatic use of upstream translation imports	Building from recipes with private branches

Things that need to go onto the roadmap, somehow

Many of these things don't fit into our themes, but we have to do to satisfy external obligations.

Supporting infrastructure

UI for selecting an archive
Improved package / product linking
JIT registration of projects for creating imports
Crowd-sourcing
- code import maintenance
- bug import maintenance
- project / package linking

Archive snapshots

Software Centre support

Branch privacy for distributions

ARM support for PPAs

Other
