[FEATURE REQUEST] Public Roadmap

[RussellSpitzer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Lots of folks are interested in what is going on with the project but there is currently no clear way to see what folks are working on and what they plan to working on next

Describe the solution you'd like

Either we start using milestones or perhaps some projects to help folks to understand what is going on and who is working on what, as well as potential timelines

Describe alternatives you've considered

I would like to work on this feature :) Do we want to create a dashboard of sorts for displaying all action items?

[jbonofre]

We discussed about that during the last community meeting.

My proposal is to use GitHub projects (I enabled it) to store the proposals and link to a milestone. Then, milestone can host the roadmap.

I'd suggest following steps

1. Raise an issue
2. Circulate the idea with the community, dev list and/or community sync
3. Create a GitHub project for the topic once a consensus has been reached

[jbonofre]

@flyrain fully agree, that's also my suggestion.

As reminder, we already have a "plug" on the website: https://polaris.apache.org/community/proposals/

So, we should be able to easily populate the public roadmap on the website here.

[Pranathi-star]

Based on the suggestions here, I believe we can work on this in two simultaneous phases. First would be creating a placeholder issue circulated in the community where we ask contributors to comment on what major features they are working on and manually populating the ones with high votes in the project section.

Second phase would be to fetch the listed tasks in the project section using the GitHub API and displaying in the community proposals section of the Polaris site.

Does this sound correct?
