From MIKE2 Methodology
This is a high-level product roadmap to outline what is in the works for omCollab, what we are planning to implement in the future and what one day might make it into the code. We also want to encourage you to think about what we need to do to make this a competitive product offering compared to the Sharepoints and Zohos of the software world.
