Living Road map document - PROJECTMGR component

[Pierre Smits]

Ron,

If you are interested in this component and willing to support this
component, maybe you should have your name added to the support section of
the 'Living Road Map document (https://cwiki.apache.org/
confluence/display/OFBADMIN/New+Features+Roadmap+-+Living+Document
).

@Jacques:
Can you create the PROJECTMGR section in the document in the fashion of
'Improve the SFA component'?. It seems it doesn't exist (anymore).
You can add my name there as well.

Regards,
Pierre Smits
