dotCMS Launches Interactive Roadmap

Roadmaps typically offer a pretty bland experience. You click, you read, you leave.

dotCMS customers, on the other hand, have a new, interactive roadmap to play with. As of today, you can submit new ideas to the dotCMS team, vote on the importance of new features, and check out what’s under consideration.

According to dotCMS, their top three goals for the roadmap portal are to:

1. “Welcome product feedback and ideas from both customers and the greater CMS community and use this feedback to help shape and prioritize dotCMS product development.
2. Inform customers, prospective customers, users, and fans of the latest exciting news in dotCMS product and feature development.
3. Promote Transparency of the current and future dotCMS product development roadmap. As a part of the open-source community, we welcome the responsibility to reveal insight into our short-term and long-term development efforts.”
