As de-facto community lead atm I wanna give this effort a big +1. I believe This is a great step in the right direction for us. I do however have a question to throw out there, and forgive me Thorsten because I've asked in chat already. I just want to pose it for a wider audience. :) Do you see this as guiding *all* of what we do, or, just upon a particular *community decided* idea/theme? Something that can be decided at the beginning of each cycle or something? I ask because we shouldn't dictate that people *have* to create by these rules. I feel that only people that *want* to be involved with the larger, focused, effort will have to.
