Agreed. But what I am rather saying that this is not a problem of long
lists. If this would be the case we would have to reduce the number of
possible issues in bugzilla.

I think it is rather a matter of priorities. We must ask some simple questions:

1) What are our goals and our main problems
2) What tasks that we have identfied are interrelated or which tasks
are blockers to others?

So we might find that we must solve one or two tasks to reach one goal (first).

So besides GnomeWeb where many people are already involved and acting
- if we consider our goals what is  our main problem?

* Increase awareness of GNOME.
* Increase the user base of GNOME
* Making it easier for GNOME users to become GNOME contributors.

Maybe we can start from here to set THE major (or first) real
marketing goal where we can concentrate on removing the blockers. Do
you have one goal of these above (from GnomeMarketing) where you think
we should start? I am going to make links to new pages out of these,
so we could start working on them right away.
