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.
