Comment 1 for bug 579343

My opinion is, this is currently addressed quite well with the launchpad tracker. This applies even more so once people start using the LP blueprint facility to streamline the development process.

Priorities can be well handled by using the LP facilities.

GNUSim8085 looks to be in a pretty good shape actually. In fact, in much shape better than it used to be during its SF.net times: while there are about 60 open "issues", most of these are not critical bugs, but rather feature requests to further improve GNUSim8085 and improve its usability.

This is a good thing, it shows that people are using the simulator and that they are interested in improving it. This is further highlighted by the fact that for 60 "open issues" there are 12 issues with posted patches - i.e. a "FIX rate" of 20% - for an open source project that's actually fairly decent, especially taking into account that this is mostly about new features.

If you want to see a roadmap, it might be an idea to create some blueprints here and link to those from the website or even from the program. I am not very familiar with LP and the blueprints facility, but I recently started classifying issues by creating new "meta categories", I guess this could be further improved on eventually...

In fact, just inviting people to contribute to the project by adding a short note to the splash screen and the about box, would probably improve this situation even more.

Looking at the download stats, things are actually looking fairly encouraging, not to say IMPRESSIVE.
