+
+## DPDK porting on Windows
+
+The preparation work is hosted in the
+[Windows draft repository](//git.dpdk.org/draft/dpdk-draft-windows/).
+
+The upstream work is being merged in two repositories,
+splitting userspace and kernel code:
+
+- [dpdk](//git.dpdk.org/dpdk/)
+- [dpdk-kmods](//git.dpdk.org/dpdk-kmods/)
+
+The [DPDK documentation for Windows](//doc.dpdk.org/guides/windows_gsg/)
+is updated along with upstream progress.
+
+The PMD-specific documentation should be updated in the common
+[NIC drivers guide](//doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/index.html).

Applied

This is the first revision of the roadmap.
Please send any update or addition as a patch.

Few details of Mellanox milestones are shared.
Would be good to have such milestones for other PMDs.
