[jdf-dev] Migration: when and what

[Jason Porter]

At this point since it's been released and we have had a pretty good showing of jdf now, should we open things up to the users we're targeting and get them to help us flesh out our roadmap? This is all about them and finding the pain points they have. I'm not exactly sure the best way to do that though besides putting out a news section and ask for comments. Thoughts?
