+Yes, simplified a lot. :)
+
+There's a slide ('ll post shortly) in our talks that illustrated the
+flow of the governance (if that can help):
+ - Community (needs, ideas, means, uses)
+ - Teams (reflexion, production)
+ - Council (driving, conflict mgmt)
+ - Board (direction)
+ - Association (structure)

+Tag-clouds? (not very informative, though). Or project goals?

+(aside from this, but it is related: from FOSDEM talks, one point that

+we had no pitch for it; that's something along the mission/vision
+statement, and we have nothing clear enough that embraces all the
+rest).

+
+There are four steps, we can add a fifth one:
+ - Sept. 2010: project launch & teams setup
+ - Jan 2011: build system ready, packagers rejoice
+ - Feb: first alpha
+ - June: stable release
+ - Summer: brainstorm the future of the project
+
+Or, we can set milestones from now on:
+ - Sept. 2010 - Feb 2011: project launch and now first alpha
+ - June: stable release

+Hmmm maybe.

+Actually I would have just listed several means to join/help: being a
+packagers, tester, joining another team, with a single URL, like
+mageia.org/join where would most of the contents be.
