Advanced Forum road map

Sep 3, 2008: Ok, keeping this up to date hasn't happened. I've moved these all into issues and will just keep them up in the queue.

Issue queues are great for keeping track of individual issues but I find it handy to summarize everything into one document to be able to see the big picture. This post will, of course, get out of date quickly, but I'll revise it from time to time. The current revision was done on August 10, 2008.
