Great idea, Eric.  By the time you're plotting out a budget (if it's
needed), I would suggest the goals be measurable.  How about something
like this?

* Prepare Release Notes by completing the following tasks (not sure
    what this is nowadays, but it might be something like):

  * Review and ratify organization (essentially, confirm Docs team
    is happy about the way it works, and if not, change as desired)

  * Erase old content from wiki

  * (insert stuff here)

* Complete the following chapters in the User Guide:

  * (list)

* For the translation bullet -- figure out the process changes needed
  on the list (with trans@ folks), then figure out what needs to
  happen at the FAD to make them a reality.

By the way, I sent in proposals for some talks in Ohio, and if I'm
selected and can swing the travel, I would love to participate.
