High Level Overview of Early R2013b/R2014a work

This wiki is for high level guidance/planning for early stages of work for R2013b/R2014a.   Overall, the business model and roadmap process will be used to determine long term feature development areas.  However, that work will not be complete until mid/late summer.  In the meantime, we will work blockers for GSFC flight projects and ACE ops cert.
