Thanks!  We're looking for tactical goals at this point in time.  So
bringing up the examples that we included that you think are important are
good.  I thnk I recall that mailing lists had a suggestion from you to
implement an alternate front-end to mailman archives that was forum-like.

Fedora Classroom, I think you've defined the problem well.

Hard getting started could use something more specific to work on.

One of the things that several audience members called out was that they
think having measurable indicators of a task's success or failure was
important.  If a board member takes one of these on, they'll need to analyze
these and come up with those as well.
