[OSM-talk] The Top Ten Tasks list

When you originally announced that the new group had formed and you had
simply for convinces sake used the existing EWG name, you specifically
scoped the "new EWG" differently than the "old EWG", now it seems as if
it is exactly the same.

The other issue is brain storming is nice and so on, but you are going
to disappoint a fair number of people if you don't scope it a bit, does
"world peace" count as a worthy top 10 task? Or perhaps "turn osm.org in
to a gmaps replacement"?
