[PROGRAM PLAN]: The high level development plan for GEOS

Description

This "issue" will track an evolving program plan for the development goals of GEOS from a high level perspective. Major projects will be listed with high level summaries, and their associated EPIC will be linked. Detailed discussions about projects should not be present on this issue, but rather confined to the associated project EPIC .
