Continue doing lots of stuff for Debian. And since the DPL role will be
handled by 3 persons, we should hopefully be more visible as a whole too.
If one member is busy with real life during some time, with some luck the
2 others are not.

I expect to use the wiki to aggregate progressively stuff that I want to
send out to the community, exactly like I do with
http://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews

It works quite well.

Hopefully I'll use the wiki to follow the status/progress of 
DPL-initiated projects as well.

However for some projects there are large parts of private stuff
that can't be reported publicly. But the timing could be reported:
- 20080401: Mailed foo to get his input on X
- 20080408: No answer from foo, try pinging on IRC

I don't want to commit to this kind of ChangeLog style communication (it
has a cost!) but it's worth a try at least and we can then see if it's
sustainable. I do use such reporting in my professionnal work already
(even if its purpose is project management/time accounting more than
communication).

Cheers,
