WSC WG - timeline/roadmap

Now that we're making the transition from planning to doing, here's the 
outline of the timeline/roadmap we will be following.  Take special note 
of the timeline for initial recommendations in the wiki, developing code 
to those recommendations, and testing of that code. April is our month for 
getting all of our initial draft recommendations into the wiki; June is 
the month we plan the functional, robustness, and usability testing, July 
we are coding, August we are testing. Please reply with reactions, 
comments, etc.
