+Road Map 2013 | 2013-01-15
+##########################
+
+| The updated road map provides the background and rough schedule for the
+| advances of the framework planned for 2013.
+
+The road map of 2013 encompasses four major topics: improving the
+framework infrastructure, using Genode as a self-hosting environment,
+tooling and optimizations, and hardware support.
+
+Before going into detail about each of those topics, the updated road map
+document takes the chance to look back at the outcome of 2012. Even though
+the project largely maintains its main motivation of last year to turn Genode
+into a real-world general-purpose OS, the planned work reaches out to
+challenges that lie beyond this immediate goal, in particular multi-processor
+scalability, support for IOMMUs, extended ARM SoC support, and improved
+virtualization on x86.
