</span>Please edit <a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Vision_proposal_2016" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Vision_proposal_2016</a> until<br>

<br>
</span>But we all can! :)<br>
<br>
Everyone in the world is empowered to offer their view of the<br>
direction that SL should take, by editing the wiki, and to take action<br>
in whatever direction they like, by contributing to the codebase or<br>
other things on Github.<br>
<br>
For example, if some people don't want to work on enabling Activities<br>
to run on Windows, they just don't, and other people who do want to<br>
work on this will do.<br>
<br>
But marketing can help call attention to the possible things that<br>
people may be inspired to work on. So perhaps I could say, "the best<br>
way to invent the future direction is to predict it" ;)<br>

<br>
</span>Please could you explain more about what it means to be "marketing-oriented"? :)<br>
