Sunbird development happens within a fairly quick and mostly rigid timelines. If your feature wasn’t completed within a particular release, please don’t worry - it can make it into the immediate next one. The release calendar gives you a sense of the upcoming timelines that the contributing teams adhere to.
Roadmap
The contributing teams are maintaining a high level roadmap in a folder, that will get updated once a quarter. For now, it’s maintained as part of a Drive folder - but we’re looking at moving it into a Jira roadmap soon. Here’s the link for now.
Contributions process
The contributions process that is repeated each release has been put forward on the discussion forums (here). Since we have multiple contributing partners, and the pace is quicker than many open source projects, it requires us to be clear on the various stages so that all contributors work in a synchronized manner towards delivery. If you have questions, please raise them on the same thread - so we can evolve the process if required, or answer doubts that you have regarding the same.
