[Pulp-dev] Roadmaps for plugins

[Tom McKay]

This sounds interesting but as a community user[1] my biggest complaint is
not knowing 1) when an issue will be worked on, and 2) how to influence the
priority.

As an example, take the story 2602[2]: As a user, I want docker repos to
have "mirror on sync". It's difficult for me, not being in all the meetings
and plannings, to know if this issue will ever be addressed. Will a roadmap
be tied to specific issues for the plugins? Will there be a way for casual
consumers of the plugin to influence priority?

An example of a roadmap that I've found useful is openshift's[3]. It
doesn't necessarily help me with all the issues, or if an issue will ever
be worked on, but is a nice quick overview.

Looking forward to hearing more!


[1] To be fair, a dev on foreman/Sat-6 with a vested interest in container
images
