Roadmap

I've created a project roadmap (of sorts) through the long-neglected 
task manager on Volity's SourceForge site. See: 
https://sourceforge.net/pm/?group_id=91751

Click on the project names to see the tasks I've declared under each, 
with due dates, dependencies, and assigned developers. Note how I've 
added Javolin 0.1 and Javolin 0.2 as separate, chronologically 
sequential projects. If this new approach to the task list works, I 
plan on treating every future project/version combination as a separate 
project, each one ending with a "release" task.

The whole thing carries us through May Day of next year. By then, if 
all goes according to plan (uh oh), we should have an implementation 
(server- and client-side, as appropriate) of just about every major 
feature discussed over the last year (even seats, to a degree... more 
on that in a separate email), with definitive documentation for the 
whole mess.

Doug and Karl, I assigned you to a lot of stuff in the Javolin 
projects, but tried to pace things sanely. Please let me know how 
reasonable you feel the date ranges are.

For my part, I'll be tying up Frivolity (where I've got most of the new 
features half-coded already), but largely working on a new RFC-style 
codification for "Volity 1.0" -- documentation, that is, for the 
platform itself, with its attendant protocols. (Is one monolithic 
document the way to go, with this? I can't think of a reason not to, 
right now.)

As always, if you have a SourceForge account and wish to tinker with 
this stuff yourself, just let me know.

(Also made a roadmap page on the wiki:
