Alexandro: in a way, you are correct. The BizDev project is not really in the same league as MP; and the SMP includes BizDev. Having a general list of to-dos, however, is in the works. It is not like the SMP, however. Rather, the BizDev has several proposals on the table right now. * Case Studies. There are lots of businesses that need to be contacted using the templates created. We also need to make those more widely available. At OOoCon we concluded that case studies are enormously important and need to go ahead. * Contacting derivatives of OOo. We have a list of those selling derivatives of OOo. I have asked the members of this list to contact them, if they feel up to it. The idea is simple: to see if they (the derivative makers) will contribute back to OOo. * Listing add ons and plug ins, etc. There is an open issue on this and it has languished. I want to create a page listing all such for users and for makers of such. Right now, most users are ignorant of them and makers are, too. These are to-dos; they do not constitute a plan along the lines of SMP, and that is intentional: the SMP is inclusive.
