The wiki page was simply pretty outdated.
I have updated the ROS/Roadmap wiki page with current information:
http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Roadmap

Please feel free to discuss any further information which would be useful on that page.

I've always struggled to locate the following information every time I go searching:

  * When are the next rosdistro releases due?
  * What platforms are they going to be running on?
  * What underlying dependency shifts are looming (e.g. python3)?

The first thing I do is google 'ros roadmap'. I just watched a colleague go looking for the same information and also googled those exact same keywords. Probably others do also.

What they get you at #1 is http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Roadmap which doesn't provide recent or new information, but is now information about a legacy process that is not marked as legacy - confusing. And
then you have to really start digging to answer the questions above.

The information can be found from the ros main page (http://wiki.ros.org/) under 'Distributions' which isn't entirely obvious. Important pages being:

  * http://wiki.ros.org/Distributions
  * http://wiki.ros.org/Distributions/Timeline
  * http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0003.html (which could do with an update for indigo/j-turtle)

To make it more visible, can we:

  * Forward wiki.ros.org/ROS/Roadmap <http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Roadmap> -> wiki.ros.org/Roadmap <http://wiki.ros.org/Roadmap>
  * Add links for the above to that page?

Cheers,
Daniel/Yujin.
