Yes, it is indeed a busy month for the developers.
Anything listed in the Roadmap is planned on being fully implemented across all islands in that given month.
As for Statues and Monuments not being included, after we estimated how many hours each item would take, compared it to how many volunteer hours the developers had available for October, we had more development hours required for all tasks vs available hours, so I removed it.
The Facebook updates is something I'm working on. I have many years experience working with social media and know that having a Facebook page that's updated on a regular basis will help raise aware of the game and attract new players. Once my plan for this is done I will post it publically.
You will also see that there is a great deal of work being done on the code infrastructure of the game itself. This is something that is extremely time consuming and has to be done. This is also why some approved features that seem easy to implement aren't being implemented as it would require them to be implemented twice (old code and new code) which is not time well spent.
Thank you for your questions and comments, I always welcome them!
