- This page is intended as a constant "work in progress" type document which attempts to capture the medium term release planning / thinking. It does not describe the details of the release just in the making nor does it intend to capture the any "pie in the sky" stuff which is possibly years down the track. Its window size is probably between 6 and 12 months.
+ This page is intended as a "work in progress" type document which attempts to capture the medium term release planning / thinking. It does not describe the details of the release just in the making nor does it intend to capture the any "pie in the sky" stuff which is possibly years down the track. Its window size is probably between 6 and 12 months. The document takes a Feature centric view of the release planning process. It doesn't deal with design issues at all. This is left for other places. For examples supporting details on many mentioned incomplete or "to be implemented" features can be found under ["FOPProjectTasks"], ["FOPProjectPages"] and ["DeveloperPages"] as well as by searching the [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&r=1&w=2 fop-dev] mailing list and [http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1&bugidtype=i
