[META] Out of the box - 8.8 roadmap

Problem/Motivation

We want to create a roadmap for Drupal 8.8 release.
Starting by putting together a list of our ambitious goals and then prioritize it into:
Must have & Nice to have.

Whatever we cannot complete by the week of October 14, 2019, the scheduled Drupal 8.8.0 Feature Freeze (alpha1 release), we can move to Drupal 8.9 or Drupal 9.

This list will evolve and will be updated through comments and additional conversations.

Some of the items can be achieved by getting help from volunteers in other teams, like Documentation and Translation.

We should keep an eye on https://www.drupal.org/core/roadmap to see which modules could potentially become stable in the next Drupal release.
In the process of Drupal 8.7 development, Layout Builder and JSON:API modules became stable at the very end of the process.
We can prepare patches in advance for Media Library and other upcoming new functionality that might be ready in time for when Drupal 8.8 is going to be released.

Drupal 9.1 Wishlist

According to https://www.drupal.org/core/roadmap there will be no new (big) functionality introduced in Drupal 9.0

Finding free and open content repository, that we can either copy to into our own CSV files or use their APIs directly.
Create a content model for each type of website and import the content into it.
Create one global theme that can work for all these types of websites.
