GnomeWeb Goals

Here we define a strategy to implement the GnomeWeb/WgoScope and other GNOME web projects willing to join the GnomeWeb/DevelopmentTimeline. GnomeWeb goals are like subprojects that have a lifecycle of 6 months at least and several requirements in terms of planning, execution and documentation. It's not worth to go through the goal process if you want to suggest a small improvement in a web page. Instead, request an enhancement via Bugzilla. And viceversa, if you have in mind i.e. a new GNOME web service a bugzilla bug is probably not the right place to discuss, plan and execute it. Consider it a roadmap.
