In reply to Alain Aubry.

Matt covered the overarching plan for the next few years in his 2019 State of the Word speech. There's a few more details in that post about each of the phases.

Now, get ready for a less-comforting reply.

I definitely agree that we need more transparency with the details. The high-level outline is good, but it can make some people feel like we're in a ship with a captain who's sipping rum on the deck below instead of at the helm. We know where we're heading. We just don't know exactly what this journey is going to look like on the high seas. I may be taking this analogy a bit far at this point :)

Part of the issue is that there are so many channels, which are all a bit disconnected (Slack, Make blogs, sites like the Tavern, etc.). If you're not following the day-to-day stuff, it's easy to get lost.

This has been the story of WordPress' history. It'd be interesting to explore how we, as a community, can better plot WordPress' future course and make sure it's easily available for anyone to view. I'm making a note to keep this in mind for topics that we can explore on WP Tavern in the future too.
