This roadmap is intended as a guideline of what is projected on a quarterly basis. It is subject to change at any time, and in particular will be dependent on the available resources and the rate at which work is completed.
The section called "Features definition" is proposed work that requires not only definition, but also matching up with available resources. Therefore, that section is not intended to state what actually will be done, and instead the Engineering Roadmap provides a list of the actual work being performed on a month-by-month basis.
Please note that the mobile site is the foundation of most features, so app features are generally in addition to site features.
