| This page is to serve as a development roadmap for the next version of Xubuntu. In its initial stage it will contain items in a wishlist-manner and basically all users will be allowed to add items here. ''Caveat'': adding an item here does not in any way mean that it will get implemented. The first step towards implementation is for an item to get an ''assignee'', i.e. someone who will try to implement the item. After this initial period the unassigned items will be moved to an "Unassigned"-page for later use (Precise+1) or just for reference. ''' Brainstorming week '''<<BR>> In the brainstorming period, we determine where we want to go with the next version of Xubuntu, or what we want to do, meaning people (i.e. devs and users) can add items to the wishlist. After that period, there won't be any more items added to the list, so we can get a good overview of our todo-list for Precise. (What we really ''can'' do in terms of manpower etc. will be determined in the next step, "finding assignees"). People need deadlines, even for adding stuff to a wishlist. To get better planning it's good to settle on the items we want to work on in advance, not throughout the cycle (as has been the case quite often), mainly because it makes planning and focusing easier. Adding an item to the wishlist does not mean you have to be the one implementing it, but in your personal interest you should be motivated to at least help finding someone who will. The roadmap will be closed for direct submissions at the end of the brainstorming period. After that all items to be added must pass, and be approved separately by the community and the Project Leader in a community meeting. ''' Finding Assignees and Approving '''<<BR>> Items will be approved at the end of the "Approving" phase if no counterarguments against them are raised before the end of the phase. Items with * in the importance field need community (and Project Lead) discussion and approval before the actual work on the items can start - basically meaning you will have to finalize the specification before you get the final approval. For all other items, approval means that people are free to start working on the items. All (non-trivial) items will need community approval before committing to repositories or other appropriate places. ''' Launchpad blueprints and detailed specifications '''<<BR>> We will add any items in the roadmap as Launchpad blueprints under the [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-precise-flavor-xubuntu|topic-precise-flavor-xubuntu]] blueprint. All blueprints can have [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorkItemsHowto|work items]] which are tracked at [[http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/|status.ubuntu.com]]. If you need to write a more detailed specification for the blueprint, please add it as a subpage for [[Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Precise]] and link it to the Launchpad blueprint. |

Roadmap for Precise Pangolin
This page is to serve as a development roadmap for the next version of Xubuntu.

Changes on default applications
Items in this group (usually) need comprehensive application comparisons. An assignee for each "group"/type of application should take up the task, ideally more than one to make it less subjective/one-sided. All proposed applications can be found in Xubuntu/Roadmap/ProposedApplications; please add one here only if that group/application has an assignee.
