I believe what you're looking for is here: http://test.maemo.org/community/roadmap.html There's a _huge_ list of wishes for improvements elsewhere, but the roadmap is closer to reality in terms of what might be implemented. I believe the plan is to flesh it out as far as who's running any particular project, whether they're Nokia or not, current status, etc. Searching the dev list for roadmap will get you the details.
