Well, I did some searching of the wiki, and found a couple intro
tutorials, and some Change pages around Docker features.  The Change
pages may be the closest to a 'roadmap' you'll discover.

Again, standard disclaimers apply here.  Someone could be quietly be
working on a five year plan for docker packaging and have a complete
comprehensive guide to container management stashed on the wiki, and we
haven't discovered it.  That's why I encourage those who are interested
to help draft the Release Notes, or we can find a guide to put it in, so
the content is discoverable and the applicable release is known.

While I can't show you a prepared and curated place to discover the
information you're looking for, I *can* help with the tools, methods,
and infrastructure needed for you to share the research you're already
doing or the content you've already written for your course.  In a
community project, these things come about because someone has an
interest, and they are generous with the product of that interest.
