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 -> wiki.ros.org/Roadmap
- Add links for the above to that page?
Cheers,
Daniel/Yujin.
