 1 | # Backlog
 2 | Welcome to the Magento public backlog! 
 3 | This is a place where we gather the big-ticket items that represent changes in products, features, and functionality for the entire Magento product suite. In the spirit of transparency and open dialogue, we are making this backlog public. However, please don't interpret this as our roadmap (see disclaimer below). This is a living artifact that is expected to be in a constant state of evolution. It doesn't represent a promise or guarantee, and isn't 100% complete for strategic reasons.

29 | # Have an idea? 
30 | If you have an idea for how to improve this backlog or what should be on it, please reach out on the #public-backlog channel of our [Community Engineering Slack](http://opensource.magento.com/slack). To keep things clear, typically only big-ticket items are included. Think - if something is large enough to make it onto the roadmap presentation at a big Magento event, it may be a good candidate.

33 | # Community Project Process
34 | The following describes a general framework for starting and running joint collaboration projects between Magento and the broader community. Keep in mind every project's dynamics are different and may diverge from the outline below. 
35 | 1. Decide that a project is worth doing
36 |    - Community projects can be proposed internally (in Magento) or externally (by Community)
37 |    - Get in touch using the Slack channel above
38 | 2. Alignment with Magento on resource allocation
39 |    - Projects can be fully community-driven or run in a form of internal-external collaboration
40 | 3. Create an official community project on GitHub and populate backlog
41 | 4. Recruit volunteers
42 | 5. Run kick-off and grooming meetings
43 |    - Set expectations for code delivery
44 | 6. Implementation
45 |    - Run recurring check in meetings and demos
46 | 7. Delivery
