Read the CSM minutes. You can find the pdf link in this dev blog.
From the Eve Future section:
"...in the upcoming expansions iteration on current features would have the lions-share of the attention. While iteration would be the primary goal, there would still be room for adding new content. Ideally this new content would be added as an iteration of a current feature."
"Conversation then moved onto the Winter expansion and what changes that would bring. A 0.0 rebalance and sovereignty re-design captured the attention of the CSM, though a special presentation devoted solely to these features was slated for a later time and thus a detailed discussion did not take place. Instead, the focus was on ôEstablishmentsö û the iteration of the CaptainÆs Quarters. Establishments will be coupled with an iterative feature on contraband. Torfi was concerned that, currently, smuggling contraband & boosters doesnÆt feel like the shady business practice it is. Additionally, the fact that NPCs play a large role in policing boosters does limit gameplay. Putting that policing into the hands of players, as well as making Establishments the venue for booster sales, would be a successful iterative feature."
"After establishments, Torfi displayed the new artwork to be delivered in the Winter. The Nebulae were the center of attention û 13 distinct features that the player can relate to when in different geographic locations."
"New turret effects, to go along with the new turret models, are slated to come out in the winter expansions"
"Confirmation was given that engine trails are going to make a triumphant return, and along with all new effects the end-user will be able to toggle them on and off."
Changes to local.
New Player Experience will be worked on.
"Aurum would not be limited to Incarna clothes, but it would serve as the framework for future EVE Virtual Goods features."
Unified Service Layer (USL) to be added soon.
Random stuff:
"The plan involved releasing not just one large expansion on Christmas, but instead several moderately-sized expansions leading up to the main Winter expansion. The main theme of this Winter expansion, at least with regards to FiS, would be iterations on 0.0 space. Specifically: null-sec sovereignty related features, supercap proliferation and the rule of super-capitals, and various other ôTeam BFFö tweaks."
FiS == Flying in Space, i.e. Eve content.
"Nullsec iteration is beginning now with work on industrialization, and at present there are no big features planned going into 2012, which makes it likely that continued FiS iteration will be possible. But as with other plans, that can change."
"Currently, there are three main teams working on EVE Flying-in-Space content (as opposed to Incarna, infrastructure development [Carbon], performance [Gridlock], and so on). These are Team BFF (Little Things), Team TriLambda (Art), and Team Commie Pinkos (Content, such as missions). New content and mechanics, such as contraband, are intended to bridge Incarna content with traditional EVE FiS."
