I've posted roadmaps in the mailing list before, but there's nothing
big on the horizon.  Mephisto is a utility born out of need, and it
does what I need it to do very well. There are a few things I'd like
to get tweaked for a 1.0 release:

* Some change to the way sections and articles work so that articles
have a 'main&#39; section, and each section can have its own url template.
* New, working plugin system using Rails Engines
* Defensio support to go with akismet.

I've increased the core team a lot in the last few months, but no
one&#39;s really had much time to spend on it.  You&#39;re welcome/encouraged
to help of course.  You can submit patches to lighthouse and all that.
