FreeCAD - though usable in many applications - is at the beginning of a long journey into CAD mainstream. There is still a lot to do to reach a state where we can compete with commercial software.

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].
This section gives 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.

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.
