now it is near the version 1.0, i think it is good idea to make a
brainstorm between all the community to make the next roadmap ...

Is it? How can you say so?

This kind of proposal has popped up before. In fact it does on a very
regular base.

Now I can only speak for myself, but I guess the following can be
applied to many of the developers:

I choose to contribute to Lazarus, I do so in my spare time, and I do
so without any remuneration. In fact the only reason I do so is,
because I can (within the limits of the  project target) work on
whatever I like to work. As a consequence I don't exactly need a
roadmap led out for me by someone else. I wouldn't follow it anyway.

I really don't want this to look arrogant, or to implicate that I
wouldn't value feedback from others.
I have taken ideas from others in the past, and probably will do it
again.
In fact I am glad about ideas contributed[1], but not as a roadmap,
only as an idea, which anybody is *free* to pick up or leave out as
they are pleased.

If you have a specific idea, you should bring it forward, maybe it
get's discussed[1], maybe someone picks it up and implements it.

[1] Limited discussion about how it could be done is ok.
There is *no* values in the discussion *why* or at which *priority* it
should be done, because that simply depends on the person who will do
it (if anyone at all).
