Yep!

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
was raised was that, although we did list objectives to the project,
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.
