* Cbeard, Dria and Basil are working to put together an initial strawman feature plan based on all the inputs to date (brainstorming, Summit meetings, initial research, etc.)
* Once the strawman is complete, the core product planning team (Vlad, Mconnor, Beltzner, Schrep, et al.) will work to evolve the plan, after which it will be taken to key feature and module owners for further review and refinement.
