Why open-source timelines/roadmaps don't work

I guess what I am trying to say is that having some sort of roadmap could help with better identifying gaps, prioritising, geting some community support, etc…

@RoyiAvital

The main gap is what are the goals and what is being worked on.
This gap doesn’t exist for the group of core developers, as the answer is in the PR’s and Issues.

To bridge the gap, we need to create a simple communication paths.
A timely forum post or a blog post will do wonders. It will benefit all sides

These are great roles for community participation! One of you could start a “this week in Julia development” newsletter, where you monitor Julia’s GitHub and then write things up in an manner that can be understood by a wider audience. That way it doesn’t slow down developers and word gets out about the cool happenings in Julia development.
