FreeCAD, though usable in certain areas, is at the beginning of a long way into the CAD mainstream. there is still a lot to do to reach a state where we can compete with commercial software.

This section gives you an overview of what is planned and gives you the opportunity to participate or give your opinion. As we are volunteers to FreeCAD we have only a certain amount of time.

Here is the [[Project template]].

You can follow the issues that are currently being working on on the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/free-cad/roadmap_page.php tracker].
There is no roadmap for the whole FreeCAD project. If you want to get involved it is best to ask in the [https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewforum.php?f=10 Developer section] of the [https://forum.freecadweb.org/index.php FreeCAD forum].

Introduction

There is no roadmap for the whole FreeCAD project. If you want to get involved it is best to ask in the Developer section of the FreeCAD forum.

The following links may help you get started:

Roadmap project template

Some roadmaps on the Wiki use the Getting Things Done (GTD) style for the project document. Here is the Project template.
