David Rosa bdbc384de5 docs: Reduce the number of apparently broken links on github.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".

Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.

Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links.  This will be a follow-up issue.

Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719

Fixes #11087.

The Zulip Roadmap

Zulip has received a great deal of interest and attention since it was released as free and open source software by Dropbox. That attention has come with a lot of active development work from members of the Zulip community.

From when Zulip was released in September 2015 through today (November 2017), more than 350 people have contributed over 5000 pull requests to the various Zulip repositories. So a lot of what gets done is driven by contributor interest. That being said, our focus areas for the next few months are:

  • The mobile experience
  • Visual polish of the main webapp
  • Building out our API, bots and integrations framework
  • Onboarding

We also use the blocker and high priority labels in the main server repository to more granularly track issues that the project's leadership believes would significantly improve the project. We should emphasize that the majority of issues resolved in regular Zulip development are not tagged with one of these labels; while it's essential to make progress on priority projects, the Zulip community feels strongly that all the little issues are, in aggregate, just as important as priority projects.

We welcome participation from the community in influencing the Zulip roadmap. If a bug or missing feature is causing significant pain for your organization, we appreciate your commenting to that effect, either in chat.zulip.org or on the relevant GitHub issue, with an explanation of how the issue impacts your use case. See Reporting issues for more information.
