What do we agree on?

The Board has the same access to the wiki that all of us have, and I can assure you they've been pointed to the recommendations. :)

But yes, we're now asking for some synthesis on the recommendations to get us to a point where we determine which are practical, which are realistic, which are low hanging fruit, etc.

Proposals have not, repeat not, withered on the vine. They continue to be a major source of discussion for people here on the wiki and also in our meetings offline. I hope to bring a couple of ideas here soon to see what people think about them and so we can chart how best to get started on the proposals.

Nobody has said the strategy process isn't successful in generating ideas; quite the opposite. From the Board to the staff to outside observers, we've consistently heard people being impressed with the work of the task forces and individuals on this wiki. In some ways the number of ideas is almost overwhelming.
