These are awesome goals, Dom. So much so that I would prefer to *not* vote
for you, such that you can work on achieving these goals instead of spending
your time doing Board stuff, which is unrelated to development.

My point, which I'm being a little cheeky about, is that the Board's duties
do not extend to technical decisions or issues directly related to software
development. So, while I totally agree with your goals, the Board is not the
right place to go about achieving them. :-)
