This is a todo list of items that currently don't fall under any Teams or Strike-teams. Visit the Team Pages for Team-related information.

Formulate Plan
- Vision
- Bylaws
- Develop task-list of ongoing duties from each "group" <-underway
Regular status updates with key leaders
Organize staff, delegate tasks to qualified people
Fire people when it isn't working out sooner rather than later (this should go in ongoing duties task-list once created)
password sharing, multi-factor protection (see: http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/ for an example)
- Getting LDAP setup would aid in this endeavor

Determine best method to poll community on decisions (slash polls are stated to be unreliable, comments are useful but harder to draw empirical data from)
Determine Staff Communication Forum
- Keep mailing list
- redmine (this would require some ruby on rails help devs)
- Use slashcode test server (would require tweaks but we could test new code while communicating, moderating best ideas etc.)
  - See: AudioGuyWorkNotes
- Aquire concensus
- Cut the dead weight (nuke forums from orbit after data migration to wiki)
Clarify our stance on vulgarity in comments (ALL CAPS is preventing posting in some cases (filter) swears seem to work)
New Name contest (final one, we hope)
- New Names Shortlist
  - shiftdot.org
  - shiftnews.guru
  - baconnews.org baconnews.net
  - nerdcard.net
  - geekcard.org
  - dailybacon.org
  - ionews.org
Summarize staff meeting(s) (or not?)(suggest: move to Editors section?mrcoolbp (talk) 19:47, 11 March 2014 (UTC))

Choose incorporation model
- Carry out necessary tasks to achieve chosen incorporation model status
Solicit legal advice:
- Requirements for keeping logs of user activity

- Identify the legal (copyright?) implications of cross-posting (reposting stories posted elsewhere)
Incorporation Model-dependent items:
- Swag? (sync with art)
- Marketing - Do we do it? how do we do it?
- Ads?
- Donations?
