The XWiki development process uses JIRA for listing all tasks to be implemented and all bugs to be fixed.

You'll find there the dates and version planned for issues to be fixed and hence the XWiki roadmaps. There's also a release calendar listing all known dates for future releases. Please understand that these dates are often tentative since XWiki's development is open source and lots of committers/contributors are working in their free time on XWiki.

If you're interested to help out check the contributing page.

General goals for all releases:

• More tests
• Better javadoc
• More documentation on xwiki.org
• Code cleanup/refactoring

Already implemented roadmaps can be found in the archives.

Note that all planned release dates are also entered in the Calendar on JIRA.

• First usable version of SOLR implementation - Thomas Mortagne for the back end, Caty for the UI design, Marius for the UI implementation and Sorin/Manuel for ensuring the quality of the new SOLR is at least as good as our current Lucene search so that we could switch to the SOLR version ASAP (would be great to be able to do that at the end of 5.1)
