Heh... :)

Well, Sander is going to post a list of core GNOME components for comment
soon (this was in the G2RT minutes for this week). So that will go a long
way to accomplishing the first point.

We need that list to publish officialish comments on the second point, but
it's certainly not necessary before we can discuss it.

My post wasn't really clear to that effect - dotPlan is the place to list
and maintain the goals we have for the release, and I'd like to assist in
maintaining it. It's certainly been put to me to initiate it.

Hell yeah!

We haven't been very noisy so far... But I couldn't see anything approaching
offense in what you said. You'll have to try harder. ;)

Sander's post coming RSN. Hopefully this will be quick and clean so we can
get to the more interesting stuff like your previous comments.
