I think someting like a roadmap is usefull for us as developers.
This would allow us to see what other developer will
do as next and it will prevent to do the same in different
packages. It doesn't have to be a real roadmap which we have
to follow. It's more a kind of what we "like" to do as next.
It will give other developers some ideas where they can help
because they probably do not know what's missing. It will
also give a good idea about what developer think should be
done in the near future.

btw,
there are items in the launchpad Zope 3 bugtracker
which are marked with "Wishlist" in the "Importance"
column. Probably this is something I'm taking about?
