Yes, at times more interesting than a TeleNovella  ;-)

Yes, this helps.  Thank you.

I would imagine that polling the developers will help a lot.

Professionally, I want to develop my abilities in business analytics 
(predictive, descriptive & decision modeling).  Based on that, frankly, 
assisting in building the roadmap or drafting mrd's & prd's would allow 
me to do something I already know while learning this new tool-set at 
the same time.

But I have no idea if that is what LibO needs... Which brings me back to 
wanting to sneak a peek at a roadmap.  :-)   Let's just say, I'm open to 
suggestions.

Thank you for the warm reception.
