What's next for the Visual Framework, and why it is

As the Visual Framework matures and is used by a mix of stakeholders, we're sharing more about the future roadmap and how we make decisions — and work together.

10 Nov 2020

The Visual Framework development is led by [EMBL](https://www.embl.org/) (the European Molecular Biology Laboratory) and the project's components are already in use across projects with many needs that serve internal or external audiences, and intend to do a mix of various activities, ranging from inspirational to functional tasks. To achieve such a broad range of functionality, there are often different priorities from tabs, to video embeds, to analytics tracking. And sometimes these needs conflict, where a button works well on an inspirational homepage it may not work as well for a task-oriented portal to download viral sequences. So it's important to communicate to our users and stakeholders: ### What are major projects we intend to work on?

These are in addition to ongoing feature development and support. ### How do you make decisions about what's correct and best?
