after Betrand's great presentation at the GetTogether last year we 
agreed that we try Bugzilla. At this time we had a list in our Wiki of 
all requirements which are prerequisits for a stable CocoonForms block 
and many people thought that this wasn't the best way.

Unfortunatly each entry is called "bug" but some are necessary points 
for our Roadmap. We just use Bugzilla to manage our Roadmap. I know it 
is far from being complete (e.g. Portal Engine, Blocks implementation 
are missing) and we as community don't use it in the way Bertrand 
suggested but it has been a first step.

If this discussion doesn't lead to "we don't need it or don't want it 
this way" I will move all our roadmap entries into Bugzilla and will try 
keep them more up-to-date.
