I'm happy to have another go at this on the strategy@ list, which is how we got to the current SMP. However, with the rate at which people post to this list, actively 'chairing' is a pretty tall order - unless we can find a fast typist with broadband who is prepared to work 24x7 and hasn't got a life :-) There *are* issues with the SMP, like it's getting out of date, and it needs a clear link to the detailed 'to-do list'. My suggestion would be that could be fixed by moving it to a wiki format and getting wider input. What I think may be a greater priority is SMP volume 2. The MP has two aims: to market OOo the product, and to market OOo the community. The SMP volume 1 looked at the product. Volume 2 should be looking at how we market the community to contributors, especially but not only developers. I'd recommend that as a priority as we have nothing at all on that just now.
