We see this as +the best way to proof the maturity of the framework. Furthermore, by eating +our own dog food, we generate a strong incentive for ourself to address +topics that would otherwise be deferred. + +For assembling the road map, we introspected ourselves and identified +a list of functionalities that we could not live without, ranging from +a Unix-like command-line interface, over the support for specific +PC hardware, to fancy features such as a tiled window manager. + +We plan to publish four releases at our quarterly release cycle. So the +list of desired functionalities are spread throughout those releases. +However, each release will have a different emphasis. + +Version 12.02 will be geared towards the usage scenarios that we are +going to present at our next Live CD scheduled for March. For version +12.05 we are planning a major rework of our arsenal of Linux-based +device drivers. The release 12.08 will be the tipping point for making +the initial switch to Genode by including Intel wireless drivers and +a tiled window manager. Towards the end of the year, we will take the +opportunity of version 12.11 to optimize the support for our beloved +Lenovo Thinkpads and bring additional tools such as emacs to the table. + +[http://genode.org/about/road-map - Review our road-map for more details...] + + New issue tracker at Github ###########################
