@@ -18,19 +18,27 @@ These are just some quick notes I am making late at night. Lets clean this up.
 
 1. Lets establish some ground rules.
 2. We need a name:
-  * "GnuOS = GNU Now Unified" has been suggested by Anders and I like it but we are open to suggestion.
-  * GNU should be the name of the system. Any other name would represent a fork of the GNU project. Atleast, that is how I see it. -Andrew
+  * Just GNU is confusing, because it means too many different things to people (project for creating free software, set of tools, philosophy, license etc.). We need a distinctive name for the GNU distribution
+  * "GnuOS = GNU Now Unified" has been suggested by Anders
+  * "GNU System" is already somewhat established and quite descriptive; but we need some more handy short form, like GNUsys or GnuSys or something
 3. We need infrastructure
   * Wiki for community communication
   * Repository for packages
-  * Mailing lists? Can gnu-system-discuss not be used for this purpose? -Andrew
+    * Probably we can host it on the GNU servers
+  * Mailing lists?
+    * gnu-system-discuss is already there and should be used for most technical stuff
+    * We might want some less formal channel for community stuff etc. in addition
   * IRC channel?
-  * Bug tracking system
-  * Issue tracking? Should we set up a Savannah project?
-  * Would we fork Mach?
+    * As this is closely related to the Hurd, probably we shoud just use the established #hug and ##hurd
+  * Bug / Issue tracking
+    * Probably we should set up a Savannah project
+  * How to handle experimental patches to the core packages (Hurd, Mach, libc etc.) that are not in official CVS yet?
 4. We need a community vision and direction.
   * Lets work together for a common goal
   * Lets establish goals and priorities and get resources on them. (More later)
+    * Major goal to create a system making full use of Hurd features?
+      * We should never hesitate to throw away existing stuff whenever it hinders us to make good use of Hurd features
+      * However, we should try to reuse existing stuff (from Debian for example) as long as it doesn't limit our possibilities or impose considerable overhead
   * Lets have fun. It's GNU and it's important but let's enjoy ourselves.
