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.

This page tries to present a rough roadmap as to how we'll do these.

Bugs off Ubuntu

Bug heat

Q&A on bugs

Bug forwarding

Daily builds

Generic build infrastructure

Building source package branches with recipes

Full recipe interface

Code imports for all major packages

• bzr-svn support
• bzr-hg support

• bug 236973 - the interval between launching a new code import job should be more flexible

• bug 487357 - the code import system calls requestMirror even if no revisions were imported

• Get more code import machines

Other

• Online documentation for recipes
• Building a community around daily builds

Translations integration

XXX - fill this in.

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

Exceptions

These are things that don't fit into the above themes, but we have to do to satisfy external obligations.
