Calendar View #1

Open flyingzumwalt opened 8 years ago

This is great! A very useful feature to add would be a calendar view so you can see how everything lines up in time -- clusters of releases, slow periods, etc.

Do you have an example? I'm not sure how/what exactly you'd like to line up things on a calendar.

Also worth to consider: is a calendar needed in a roadmap?

I'm thinking about two use cases where this would be useful

  1. Maintainers of the projects planning their work for the next quarter
  2. Adopters of the technology planning around new features, bug fixes, major upgrades, etc.

In both of these cases, it's useful to see a calendar with the milestones laid out. For example, this is basically what we did on the wall when planning the IPFS Q3 Milestones, where each column was a week or two. @em-ly copied that info into a spreadsheet but it's a bit unwieldy in that format and suffers from drift -- when the milestones change or move the spreadsheet needs to be updated.
