In general, the Foundation has the following high level goals:
 * Increased user base
 * Sustainable project and foundation 
 * Wider awareness and mindshare

As part of this, we're coming up with medium length (think: 5 year)
strategies and goals, and the GTK work will feed into this. So it's not
a free-for-all, but as with any employment, I expect a certain amount
of self-direction and a conversation about what any employee thinks
would be best to concentrate on.

This will start to form in the next few weeks. We're already looking at
GTK team meetings, and a development plan.
