It will slow down the process,

It may not speed anything up, but I really doubt it will slow it down.

Dev time wasted writing it all = slow down.
Dev time is, sadly, very limited at the moment.

People who want to help and can, will.  Lots of people have fixed things on bugzilla, and people like Lakitu make new things.  Some things he has written for his QVM will make it to 1.2.  The reason?  He codes things that both work in a code sense, and work in a gameplay sense.  When tards write broken and buggy copy&pasted code to make tyrants fly, why the hell would the devs want there help?

Not to mention that if the next step on the roadmap were "Alphabetize function calls in foo.h", someone would be likely to hear a constant "You haven't done that yet?  Why not, it's simple, here I'll do it for you, just get it done, c'mon you're holding things up, what's wrong with you, you suck..."

Roadmap could be good.  But I'm 83.7% sure it won't change anything from the perspective of the developers.

At least give us a general roadmap of major features, the stuff that one person couldn't do in a day or less.

But your list isn't official, which is what everyone is asking for.
Also, I found proof of what you said was wrong in Dasprid's latest Tremradio.
The mini-map, they mentioned in a forum post a while ago, but it is likely lost to the annals of time...

EDIT: Found one so far...

...

The minimap under development by Timbo is a much better idea, because it behaves just like it is supposed to. Everything within the players line of site at the start is on the minimap. As the player explores the map, more things show up. If the player finds something, they can tag it. The vents would not show up for any joe to find, as they require you to see into them and know what they are, so that would not be a problem.

What gives what para says more weight than kev?
Kev writes code, para doesn't.  I know which one I trust more.

@kev: thx (I applaud your kind manner.)

P.S. So just who are "the devs" at this point, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm especially interested about the art crew of the game, as this is the part i could help if needed.
Would be nice to have a neater interface than before.
