View source for Roadmap/Long-term roadmap

The Mahara project team creates a general roadmap for each release. Some items from it may or may not be able to be accomplished during the time available as the project is on a time-based release cycle.

There are a number of items on the long-term roadmap of the project that will be reviewed during the release planning and moved to specific releases as appropriate.
