This article is a work in progress, and is intended to become a centralized list of what we want to see for the 0.5.0 release, how it can be accomplished, and who is planning to work on it.

General roadmap discussion should occur in the proper thread. The wiki talk page may be used for discussion and refinement of specific points, and conversations pertaining to the roadmap article itself.
