A roadmap process for VIVO. Over the years, many incredible ideas for new VIVO features have been suggested by members of the VIVO community regarding new features for VIVO. As an open source project, it is very important that we have an open process to share these ideas, thoughts about them, including preferences for particular features. And, of course, we do share ideas abut the future of VIVO every day in our normal community processes – work groups, task forces and governance activities. But as many have pointed out, we need a process to coalesce these ideas and conversations into a roadmap. Over the past several weeks, the Steering Group has worked to develop an open roadmap process for VIVO – one that capitalizes on the ideas of the community, aligns ideas with the strategic plan, and leverages the interests of the community for contributing effort to building specific features. The roadmap process is now "open for business." A list of features that have been proposed by you, has been assembled. Please take a look. A timeline for a process to discuss these features further, express preferences, and assemble input into a coherent document has been drafted. Please take a look.
