The major one at this stage is that we are spending lots of time talking 
about what we want to say, how we want to say it, and who we want to say 
it to, but we are spending a lot less time actually saying it :) Luis 
pimping LiveCDs is great, toady distributing over 1000 Ubuntu CDs (I 
only found out about this yesterday) in his college, to friends, family 
and colleagues, is amazing as well. We need more of this.

We can at least replace the front page more or less immediately.

Reorganising and rewriting content inside the front page will take quite 
a while - perhaps we can plan to have that done at a certain date, and 
coincide a rebranding/relaunching of the GNOME brand at the same time?

Yeah. We need a leader to say "OK, that's our market, let's not talk 
about it any more".

Cheers,
Dave.
