the "vision paper" should be reasonably brief, yes. otherwise no one will read 
it. but even more importantly, i tried to stick to _just_ the things people 
at the meeting had said they were working on _and_ which fit in the Appeal 
Project mission. in other words, an elaboration on the "deliverables" list we 
made.

we don't need to list or detail every thing each of us doing. and more 
importantly, we shouldn't try and create a "KDE vision". that will get 
rejected out of hand by the community, and rightfully so IMO.

we should state what Appeal will be doing directly and perhaps serve as an 
inspiration and leader to other KDE projects that wish to similarly reflect 
the ideals and vision of Appeal.
