I would love to work on a roadmap of some sort—we have never really done one of these, and I think it would be awesome to put some longer-term, strategic thought into what we want to accomplish. For some project management context, I have for some time been looking for volunteers to help form a “core team” of contributors to guide the direction of the project: I got a few bites, but not quite enough momentum to really set up the structure for such a tea…
