Roadmap	Steve Fisher

Discussion on the Roadmap:

• Documentation should include best practices
• Concerning the suggested move to Github it was pointed out that links to external repositories would always be needed
• It was suggested that a reporting tool summarising statistics on the data held in ICAT and its use (derived from the logs) would be useful.
• The icatproject.org website should include list of facilties using ICAT and a catalogue of all known "serious" ICATs partly to attract new users to ICAT.
