** My favourite free software roadmap is [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap Inkscape's] - they have this concept of laying out big plans which will be the guiding principles of a release early, and as they get closer to the release, those guiding principles get broken down and enumerated, people take on features, and they end up with very fine-grained lists of things accomplished in past releases.

:Inkscape is indeed a very good example. I like the way they connect roadmaps (future) with release notes (past). However, Inkscape is just one application and Maemo is a whole platform. Single products/components in this platform could work on roadmaps having references like Inkscape. However, how to apply the good lessons to a Maemo platform roadmap?--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 19:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Some links. Please add yours. Still haven't distilled whether they are good practices or not.--qgil 06:11, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

  • My favourite free software roadmap is Inkscape's - they have this concept of laying out big plans which will be the guiding principles of a release early, and as they get closer to the release, those guiding principles get broken down and enumerated, people take on features, and they end up with very fine-grained lists of things accomplished in past releases.
Inkscape is indeed a very good example. I like the way they connect roadmaps (future) with release notes (past). However, Inkscape is just one application and Maemo is a whole platform. Single products/components in this platform could work on roadmaps having references like Inkscape.
