As perhaps a primer to forming a new team to serve the Inkscape project, I would put forward for discussion the following objectives for such a team:
  1. Increasing the project's contributor base, as measured by code commits, non-technical contributions, cash contributions, etc.
  2. Improving the market position of Inkscape, as measured by user and target-user opinion studies, favorable press coverage, increased usage, etc.
  3. Increasing community loyalty and engagement, as measured by participation in physical meetups, online discussions, social sharing, etc.
Finding consensus about objectives seems more productive at this stage than strategy and tactics. I'd love to hear what you all think or would add/remove/edit.
