This is 2009, the year of opportunities and, if we&#8217;re lucky, a stronger world economy. Earlier this week &#8212; well, last year &#8212; I was writing about the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/12\/31\/the-year-in-sumo\/\">accomplishments we made<\/a> with SUMO as a project, a team, and a community in 2008. Now I&#8217;d like to spend some time to talk about our plans for 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Back in September last year, I was writing a series of blog posts about what I called the vision for SUMO, which was largely based on ideas and suggestions from our vibrant SUMO community. For your reading pleasure, here&#8217;s the full list of blog posts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 1: Listen as hard as we can\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/08\/28\/the-vision-of-sumo-1\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 1: Listen as hard as we can<\/a><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 2: Understanding the bigger picture\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/09\/02\/the-vision-for-sumo-2\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 2: Understanding the bigger picture<\/a><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 3: Increasing community participation\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/09\/04\/the-vision-for-sumo-3\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 3: Increasing community participation<\/a><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 4: Having our finger on the pulse\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/09\/10\/the-vision-for-sumo-4\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 4: Having our finger on the pulse<\/a><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 5: Localization\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/09\/15\/the-vision-for-sumo-5\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 5: Localization<\/a><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013\u00a0Part 6: Knowledge Base\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/09\/17\/the-vision-for-sumo-6\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013\u00a0Part 6: Knowledge Base<\/a><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 7: Support Forum\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/09\/26\/the-vision-for-sumo-7\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 7: Support Forum<\/a><\/li>\n<li> <a title=\"Permanent Link: The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 8: Live Chat\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/10\/01\/the-vision-for-sumo-8\/\">The vision for SUMO \u2013 Part 8: Live Chat<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This blog series wasn&#8217;t meant to remain just a vision. In fact, in 2009 we&#8217;re making it our goal! We&#8217;ve actually already started &#8212; the latest 0.8 release includes a number of <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/sumo\/2008\/12\/29\/sumo-08\/\">significant achievements<\/a> &#8212; but there&#8217;s much left to be done. Since the vision for SUMO was published, we&#8217;ve prioritized the individual goals and created an aggressive timeline that we&#8217;re confident will address many of the concerns we&#8217;ve heard from our community.<\/p>\n<p>So without further ado, <strong>here is our ambitious development <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Support\/SumoDevRoadmap2009\">roadmap for SUMO in 2009<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not easy to plan a detailed and accurate roadmap a whole year ahead, and as such not everything is set in stone yet. We&#8217;d love to hear what you think of our plans for 2009 and whether we&#8217;ve missed something you find important.<\/p>\n<p>Also, we will definitely need more development manpower in order to pull this off.
