Martin,

thanks for your enthusiasm about Shotwell!

roadmap first.

There is.  The list of Shotwell tickets at 
http://trac.yorba.org/report/16 shows all our planned features and bug 
fixes.  The ones marked 0.4 are slated for the next Shotwell release, 
which we plan to complete by the end of December.  For more information 
about the upcoming release, see the Development section on the Shotwell 
wiki page (http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell).  If your feature 
requests aren't in our ticket list then feel free to file additional 
tickets.

Vala isn't hard to learn if you already know Java or C#; it's similar to 
those languages (especially C#) but compiles directly to native code.  
To learn more about Vala, read the Vala tutorial 
(http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tutorial) and look at some of the sample 
code linked from the Vala web page (http://live.gnome.org/Vala).
