Sorry for the late reply, a few minor changes that you can feel free to

But there is a twist this time, we want to plan further than the next
six months: we want to define the major goals for the next two years,
as the community is willing to implement fresh/innovative ideas that
improves GNOME's user experience.

This is missing a deadline :-) Let's say three weeks.

We should probably update http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap/ModuleTemplate
to make it easier for people to copy & paste the questions to their
module.

Do you have Lucas' script to contact all maintainers?

Thanks,

Vincent
