No there is no road map, but there can be if someone wants to get stuck
in. I am not an "Emacs is my IDE" person, I am an "Emacs is my editor"
type person. My IDE is Emacs/Bash/Debian or Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA,
PyCharm.

I haven't been looking at CEDET but if it can be integrated so people
who are "Emacs is my IDE" type people can use it then no problem.

I have started using AutoComplete (I get the Git repositories from
GitHub rather than use the download at
http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/#Latest_Stable but can't decide
if it is useful or annoying.

Running from Emacs ought to be possible, perhaps with a D menu?

Refactoring is probably a dream..
