[Thuban-list] Roadmap for Thuban development

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hi,

you will find attached the roadmap for Thuban as it is
planned by the current development team.

It is our aim to get Thuban out of the door with 1.0
quickly since we think it is already a very helpful tool.

Any comments welcome.

I will also incorporate the page
	http://thuban.intevation.org/roadmap.html
into the Thuban site.

Note for translators: there is a 2-weeks timeslot for the translations.
Hope you feel comfortable with it. However, it is no problem
to start a couple of weeks earlier - the changes should be
not too extensive from that time on.

Best

	Jan
