I'm not too sure what you mean by a roadmap - we do have "circuit diagram" 
type pics from the begining of the project that map how we thought it would all 
work.  They haven't bee updated to reflect how it does actually work though :-)

Would be an intersting "rainy day" exercise :-)

There is a comprehensive design spec/rfp document - but again that hasn't 
been updated to reflect the actual design - so far.  This is definitly still a "late 
beta" type of programme, and i think that the database design is now pretty 
well set, but there have still been changes being made.

If you  have particular areas that don't make sense then happy to provide 
explanation 

cheers
