THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
This page gives some direction of what we hope the next few releases will contain.
It should be updated as new releases come out, or the themes/emphasis of a release change.
Of course this is all highly subject to change based on what the user community needs, and what developers choose (or are tasked) to work on.
The release numbering is also subject to change.
