<br>I want to expand a little on Simon's reply. The Future groups while not a replacement for the Strategic Working Group, is driving down a path that resembles the steps one would take to develop a strategic plan. You can see some of the work we are doing on <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Future">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Future</a> as well as the SWOT analysis <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Future">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Future</a>. Please feel free to contribute to the SWOT on the talk page.</div>
