As for the discussion about strategic goals for GNOME: this is indeed an
important topic. We apparently need to find a better way to discuss such
a complex topic than just an open discussion, though. A solution could
be to have someone collect feedback from the community, and then have a
group of people analyze this feedback to propose a document that could
then be easier to discuss. Feel free to contact the board if you're
interested in helping this way.
I thought the DVCS survey was classy and well done.
Perhaps a "Visions of Gnome" wiki page could be opened, where people
would be encouraged to propose a one-paragraph summary of what Gnome 3
(or 4 or whatever) should be about.
A ranking survey would follow, to see if there was anything that could
be called a vision consensus - or at least, to see if we could identify
the most popular lines of thought!
If a controversial figure (you know who you are!) posted a vision, it
could be voted on dispassionately, rather than providing a forum for a
endless flamefest or bikeshedding.
