My latest finding of the term "ROS 2.0" in OSRF's GSoC description [1], made me looking for its actual meaning, since I have no idea what it stands for. I don't even know, which version we are using now, e.g. Groovy = 1.X? Unfortunately, a quick Google search didn't bring up much.

So what is ROS 2.0 exactly? Are there any detailed plans for it yet? When will it be released? What will it include (e.g. NextGen Comms)? Ah, so many questions ... :-)

Since answering these might start of some discussions, I thought it's better to ask here on ROS users. In case I am wrong and there is a clear answer, I am happy to re-ask it on ROS Answers and port the answer there.

Cheers,

Marcus
