I haven't had a chance to read these, but people should go ahead and see 
what is going on with the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project is pleased to announce some enhancements to our 
planning documents to add visibility and transparency. In general, we 
are using the Planning page on the project wiki to collaborate on details.

1. Yocto Project Roadmap - we added a high-level roadmap document which 
gives a bullet-level list of features which are planned for future 
releases. In particular, the 1.0 release (planned for April) has frozen 
content, and is listed in some detail here.

2. Yocto Project 1.0 Schedule - Our normal methodology for development 
includes managing progress through this page. We did this throughout the 
0.9 development cycle and are doing it today for 1.0. By monitoring this 
page and the git master you should be able to see when functionality 
comes online and any comments about it.

3. Yocto Features - we collect requested features through a number of 
methods - bugzilla is a prime method, but we also try to solicit feature 
requests at many opportunities.  This file is where we collect requests. 
Then the maintainers work with the architect to prioritize and size the 
features, again using this file. Usually this process occurs during the 
last milestone of the previous release, about four weeks before the 
release date.

4. Development methodology - We talked about a number of things we 
wanted to do in a really good open source project when we first started 
working together. Then as time went on and we got some experience, we 
honed this methodology to something which seems to be working well for 
the project. Now as a public project, we want to open this up and 
improve on it. There are a few notes here just so you can decode the 
Schedule file. More information will come as we factor it in.

COMING SOON: We have a couple of demo videos for how to use the Yocto 
Project Eclipse plug-in. Will post these over to YouTube and post links 
on yoctoproject.org, hopefully this week.
