To make the development process of qooxdoo more transparent to users and developers this page outlines the activities and plans relevant for future releases.

Do not expect the list to always be complete, though. There is always a good chance that new contributions may make it into a scheduled release while other features may miss the release they were originally intended for. qooxdoo development will continue to be flexible enough to account for modifications and additions needed by either the framework or the community and its projects. The goal of this roadmap is to allow users to plan for future releases as early as possible and to help developers to sync with the development process and to actively participate in the project.

If you have any ideas for new features you are welcome to add them to the list of ideas. If you are about to start investigating or developing new features, please announce your plans and ideas on the mailing list. For more information about the progress of qooxdoo also see the news blog with its weekly status updates.
