About this page

This page is a rough guide on what we're doing over the next few months as part of our current development cycle.

Using the page

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.

We intend to maintain this page for future planning cycles of Launchpad, so if you are at all interested in having a say in Launchpad development subscribe now.

The dates

"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.

How complete is it?

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

Questions?

This page is maintained by the Launchpad Product Strategist. If you have any questions, contact the strategist, or begin a discussion on the Launchpad users mailing list.

This page is, and probably always will be a work-in-progress. If our plans change, we'll try to make sure you hear about it. If you have any ideas on how we can do that better — or make the roadmap more useful — contact the strategist or make a note on the page itself.
