Well some may need more, ohers need less (GNOME Goal #3 for example is a 
one lien patch)...
But it's true that 2 week may be too short.

That sounds good. Maybe we can think of different possible conditions to 
end it. For example:
- having a patch for all the projects
- having 40% of the patches being applied
- having a maximal duration of 3 weeks

I don't want to let the goals last too long to keep the dynamic aspect 
of the project, which I find really interesting. Wasn't that the purpose 
of Kathy Sierra at last GUADEC ? Creating passionate users ? Well for 
this to happen, the GNOME goals should IMHO run at a steady pace. Even 
if we have to leave some of the softwares with no patch. It'll be easy, 
weeks or months after, to point out these unachieved tasks to 
newcommers. Or maybe that could even become a GNOME Goal by itself :-)
