[ckan-dev] Fwd: CKAN High-Level Roadmap

Wed Sep 24 13:57:33 UTC 2014

[Just forwarding in case folks did not see this]

Hi All,

tl;dr we are prepping a Roadmap of key technical and community work for
next 6m
<https://trello.com/b/kvgOZLMs/ckan-association-roadmap-consultation> -
please contribute.

With the CKAN Association Steering Group and Technical Team in place, we
can now think more about the CKAN “Roadmap”.

The goal here is to agree a short-list of 4-6 high-level technical and
community items that CKAN Association will focus on in the next 6-12m.

The plan is as follows:

   1.

   Build a “long-list” of potential roadmap item and review / prioritize
   with users and the community
   1.

      16th Sep - 1st Oct
      2.

   Create a final Roadmap selection (short-list) that will be the focus
   1.

      1st Oct - 8th Oct
      2.

      This will largely be driven by those willing to step up and put up
      resources (especially as official CKAN Association Members
      <http://ckan.org/about/association/#membership>)

Led by Ashley Casovan of the Steering Group, the Steering Group and the
Technical Team have already prepped long-list of high-level roadmap items
which can be found in trello here:

Please jump in and vote and comment.

Regards,

Rufus

## FAQ

### How does this relate to Github Ideas and Roadmap Tracker
<https://github.com/ckan/ideas-and-roadmap>

The current ideas and roadmap tracker was used as input for this long-list.
The purpose of the trello long-list was:

   1.

   To have a shorter high-level long-list that focused on key items (the
   issue tracker now has over 80 items of varying scope and detail)
   2.

   Provide a simple interface in which people (including non-developers)
   could vote and comment

### How will the Roadmap be resourced

The aim of the Roadmap is to produce a list of things that the CKAN
Association and general community can specifically focus and execute on. We
aim to produce a list that is commensurate with current (and anticipated)
resources available to the CKAN Association based on Member commitments.
