This document describes the high-level features and actions for the Meteor project in the near- to medium-term future. This roadmap was built based on community feedback and to improve areas where Meteor is already strong. The description of many items include sentences and ideas from Meteor community members.
As with any roadmap, this is a living document that will evolve as priorities and dependencies shift; we aim to update the roadmap with any changes or status updates every quarter.
Contributors are encouraged to focus their efforts on work that aligns with the roadmap then we can work together in these areas.
PRs to the roadmap are welcome. If you are willing to contribute please open a PR explaining your ideas and what you would be able to do yourself.
