# Step 0: Planning App Architecture

The Open Development Roadmap (Development Pipeline) app serves the following purposes:

1. Collect feature requests and bug reports from users
2. Enable the admin to approve these requests
3. Display the current development pipeline, including planned tasks, those under development, and those already released
4. Allow users to upvote features and requests
5. Streamline the release notes process
6. Allow users to subscribe to features for updates, which will be delivered via email.
