A couple of started to move the vision document into the issue 
tracker of this
https://github.com/dlang/projects github project. We also created 
a couple of major milestones, individual issues should be 
associated with.

The idea here is that, we use the same tools we manage 
programming languages with for the english language.
If you think about it, what is a vision document. I would say it 
is a program written in a very ambiguous programming language. So 
why not use the same tool we all already know?

Next years AGM agenda will then be trivial to prepare.
