+Road Map for 2015 | 2015-01-14
+##############################
+
+| After brainstorming Genode's mid-term future on our mailing list,
+| we finalized our road map for this year.
+
+The development during the past years was primarily driven by our desire for
+features. With respect to the feature set, we have eventually reached a state
+where Genode becomes viable as general-purpose computing platform.
+
+That said, we are still not there yet, because apart from a list
+of features, it is important how those features fit together and
+how easy it is to use them. Therefore, the focus for 2015 will be
+the consolidation and cultivation of the existing feature set.
+Still, there will be room for new developments, i.e., the use of
+Genode on the seL4 kernel.
+
+The new road map is available at [http://genode.org/about/road-map].
