I think a little more like the latter; I think people's understanding of "objective" seems to be either an immediate task (maybe like "this quarter") or else something really big (more like "vision" in a formal model). I was aiming for what's possibly a _series_ of objectives over a 12-18 month period. I also like "work items spread across multiple areas" from your second point - that's one of the reasons we wanted these at the Council level. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
