Readers of this document will notice a conspicuous absence of bug lists, detailed schedules, or decomposition of development work into individual tasks. While this roadmap is intended to provide a statement of direction for the platform in Gecko 1.9, responsibility for detailed planning of such areas of development is necessarily devolved to the groups doing -- or, in the case of some larger tasks, leading -- the design, development, and testing of specific capabilities.

We strongly encourage the leaders of such "planned" work to record their understanding in a public document, and keep it updated and linked from appropriate project pages. | ||
