Hello, FPC developers' list

FPC is a great project and many devels depends on it, its user base grows, etc. But there is one big problem (as I see it) - nobody knows what to expect further. I understand that devels are free in their choise what to do and nobody wants to take this freedom away :) But can your ideas be at least more transparent?

We are trying to do this - be open between us and for users. Moreover we are trying to release versions with some feature set we discussed before. In other words - we are planing our next release. Here are examples:
- our next release plan (not finished):
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_0.9.28_todo#IDE
- our prev release plan (not fully implemented):
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_0.9.26_todo

Yes, our plans are not not obligatory (we are trying to achieve all goals but not always have enough time) but at least we are and users can know them.

Can you do the same for fpc? In current situation nobody even know what will be next fpc version nor what features will it have.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.
