I'm going to start this based upon what taylor said - we can then try to add things into the schedule in discussion (similiar to my PCS2 roadmap thread) - let's try to roadmap in "Required bugfixes as well"
color statuses
Tweaking - for when you've commited it and are just finishing off little adjustments

Features:
- new FS2NetD2 code (Taylor)
- SLDC (Shield Collision Trees) (Kazan)
