This is a nice list of general community activities, but I think it's a bit 
hard to discuss this without knowing the goal of the community and the users 
we want to target. As I understand it goals should be part of the strategy 
proposals discussion, right? So could we do that first?

As an example, putting contributors first doesn't make a lot of sense, when we 
want to reach out to users beyond the community. There we would have to put 
users first and define who they are, how to reach them, and what activities 
would support that.

In general I think users should be a much more visible part of our community, 
as I assume we are creating software not only for ourselves, but for a much 
larger group of people.
