What I think is going wrong is difference in jargon.
When the Lubuntu devs/people asked for a roadmap is what the Accessibility
people would see as an priority list. When the Lubuntu people have their
priority list, then they can create their own roadmap. As the Lubuntu devs
are very motivated to get accepted as being an official derivative, they
also want to get to some of the levels Ubuntu has achieved so far at least.
Just to proof their worth. That's why they asked for a "roadmap" and current
position of Ubuntu.

But I think now that the situation has been cleared, I think a priority list
would fill the gap of what the Lubuntu people are looking for. Then they can
argue among themselves what would be a realistic roadmap.
