+A living document with the maintainers' plans regarding the general direction of the project:

+
+## Can I Add Things to the Roadmap?
+
+If you take on the burden of implementing a feature yourself no one should stop you from adding it here as well, as long as the majority of the maintainers also agree that it is something that has a place in the framework.
+
+For example: 
+* Support being added for new ledgers by implementing new connector plugins is always welcome.
+* On the other hand, if you want to repurpose Cactus to be the operating system for a driverless ice-cream truck you are developing that that **may** not get accepted by the maintainers even if you are happy to do all the work yourself.
