Network/Roadmap

Summary

The list below is an overview of all the major work that the BOFH team has planned / should be working on. It is split up into a bunch of categories, depending on where the project currently is.

• In progress: This is being executed as we speak
• Backlog: Work that is accepted and needs to be done
• Gathering input: Needs more input before it can be executed
• Done: Yay!

The page that belongs to the project should have enough details about the project that someone else can pick it up, but not much more then that!

If you want to pick something up, move it from Backlog to In progress, and add your name to it (so people know who is working on it). Once it is done, document it, and link it from the Network landing page, and move it to the Done stack.
