What we are building next.

Everything on this page is planned, not published. It is listed here so you can see where GPS is heading — and so the rest of the site only shows work that actually exists.

How to read this page. GPS uses three statuses across the site. Active — running now, you can read or join it. In Development — confirmed dates, in preparation. Planned — scheduled in the five-year framework, not yet in production. Everything below is In Development or Planned, except the GPS Journal calls for papers.
