The GNOME Goals
Setting small concrete goals that we should all try to achieve could definitely help with our work in integration and consistency. The goals may vary a lot, don't need to be ambitious, don't need to be about code. But they need to be achievable in a small timeframe. They are the GNOME goals.
Every three weeks, one new GNOME Goal.
