I'd say: Find the common agreedment in the topic: "Where we fail" and if 
we have enough time, find the common agreedment in "What we can do to 
fix it"

Well this is kind of an infinite loop, if we don't innovate and try to 
fix where we fail (assuming that we agree on something), we won't 
attract new developers willing to work on kde-workspace, and if we don't 
get new developers then nobody will do the work or even fix current bugs 
(like the ones I'm fixing).

Imho, we should not be afraid of designing a plan even if we don't have 
enough manpwoer to do it.
