Yes, we need that.

One thing I am also desperately missing for Zope X3 is a detailled roadmap.

We need a feature matrix that clearly shows what's still missing in X3 
and who is planning to implement it by when.

That way as an "end user" I can see if Zope X3 already does what I want 
it to do, and as a potential contributor I see where I can help.

This is an incomplete list of the features I for myself could need 
information about:

- indexing/cataloging
- whatever is going to replace the thing called "ObjectHub"
- generic LDAP adapter
- LDAP authentication
- session support
- fully working WebDAV
- SOAP for Zope

The KDE feature plans are a good example. Though we might make it more 
tabular and have columns for the different releases to indicate what the 
target release for a feature is:

http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.3-features.html

I'm willing to help maintain such a page ...

Another thing we could need is a set of high-level diagrams showing how 
Zope X3 works. This sounds easier than it is. But it would help 
beginners more than a thousand words ...

Cheers
