Edit Introduction
This document describes our plans for future Sider releases. Each release focuses on a limited number of aspects (stability, new packages, optimization, collaboration, etc.) and most of the included features will relate to that.
We will update and change these plans as we deem appropriate. The higher number releases (further into the future) are more uncertain and more likely to change.

Feature Request forum if you have ideas or suggestions for new features or what you would want to see added first.
