Hi Charles, all! I take the chance to bring in some propsals, but first ...

Good points, since it helps me to clarify some things. So basically, I welcome incremental improvements - not a total makeover of the website.

Example QA: The team asked for test installations for managing test cases, e.g. LimeSurvey or something like Mozilla Litmus. Concerning the former, some of the Brazil people seemed to be involved - but I don't know the status. Example SC: There has been the question whether we should pay for Doodle to arrange some of the calls. In my opinion, it would have been nice to check the open-source alternatives ("Make Meeting for Drupal"?). Andreas had also some ideas ... Example SC/Community: We'll get more and more requests for polls and decisions (upcoming foundation structures), so a good survey tool will help - also for Marketing. Again, LimeSurvey would be helpful for that. Example Design Team: Not officially stated, but I thought about trying the Image Annotator ... see: http://jefvanschendel.nl/ImageAnnotation/index.php?i=Freemedia_Mailer_Type_A_Up I'm sure there is much more we can do ... and I think it would be beneficial to start with something which is (not yet) "mission critical" ;-) Charles, does this sound better?
