To help both our users and the RSS Bandit development team I have produced an RSS Bandit Product Roadmap. From the introduction to the roadmap

As the user base and development team of RSS Bandit has grown the need for planning and strategy documentation for future versions of RSS Bandit has become self evident. This document describes the goals for future versions of RSS Bandit as well as provide a plan for achieving these goals. As RSS Bandit is an Open Source project worked on by members of the RSS Bandit community in their free time these plans and goals will not be fixed which is why this document is a living document available on the wiki. There are three primary goals of this road map

  • it is a way to communicate to our end users what features are planned for the next release
  • it communicates the prioritization of various features as well as defines owners for feature areas
  • it defines the requirements of each feature in enough detail that the RSS Bandit development team can implement these features

At the current time this road map describes the future of the current version of RSS Bandit (v1.2.0.114) and the following version. Since we do not know the what version number an RSS Bandit release will use until it is released we will use code names for future releases. The release following v1.2.0.114 is codenamed Wolverine after the character from the X-Men comic book.

This document is primarily for the benefit of Torsten, Phil and myself although I am sure our users will find it of interest as well. If you have any feedback on the roadmap, let me know by posting a comment.
