[rules-users] Drools Road Map ????????????

[Salaboy]

I think that the decision is done by the project leader plus all the  
community members that are ending new features (usually not  
estimatable work/innovative), closing bug (non trivial ones), etc. In  
a big project like drools it's very difficult to set up deadlines and  
coordinate deliverables with this high grade of innovation. In my  
perspective(from the community side) this is not the best way to do  
it, but it give us innovation.
