+<h2>Plan for release 4 (you can comment)</h2>
+
+<p>
+The next major release, release 4, is now in sight due to various
+constraints and needs that have arousen in the past months. Here are
+the main ruptures that will appear:
+<ul compact="1">
+<li>The use of Java 1.5 parametrization facilities for refining the
+  API: Hence we will
+  define <tt>Alignment&lt;Ontology,Ontology,Relation,Confidence&gt;</tt>. This
+  will provide the opportunity to define everyone owns relation (and
+  generalise the use of relation algebras). (api/impl)</li>
+<li>The <tt>onto</tt> package will be fully externalised from the
+  Alignment API. This means in particular (a) the full disappearance
+  of the the <tt>OWLAPICell</tt> and <tt>OWLAPIAlignment</tt>
+  deprecated since version 3.3, (b) virtualisation of the Ontology
+  support from OMWGAlignments which are currently based on Jena, (c)
+  release of separated subpackages offering OWL API 1.0, OWL API 2.0,
+  Jena 2.5, OLGraph and SKOS. (onto)</li>
+</ul>
+Other less radical changes include:
+<ul compact="1">
+<li>Replacement of <tt>Parameters</tt> by Java <tt>Property</tt> (api/impl)</li>
+<li>Implementation of <tt>Relation</tt> and <tt>Confidence</tt> interfaces </li>
+<li>Implement <tt>onto</tt> support in database store (server)</li>
+<li>Move <tt>OLgraphs</tt> as HeavyLoadedOntology (onto)</li>
+<li>Implement database store for OMWG Language (server)</li>
+</ul>
+Currently the development and maintainance of 3 versions continue.
