I thought the DVCS survey was classy and well done.

Perhaps a "Visions of Gnome" wiki page could be opened, where people 
would be encouraged to propose a one-paragraph summary of what Gnome 3 
(or 4 or whatever) should be about.

A ranking survey would follow, to see if there was anything that could 
be called a vision consensus - or at least, to see if we could identify 
the most popular lines of thought!

If a controversial figure (you know who you are!) posted a vision, it 
could be voted on dispassionately, rather than providing a forum for a 
endless flamefest or bikeshedding.
