For example, +if you want to run a conference with speaker selection, the tasks will +include "running a call for proposals", "selecting the speakers", etc. +Some tasks might have dependencies, for example, "determining a ticket price" +requires that all tasks of the kind "find out what feature X costs" are done. + +With this technique, we're trying to get people to both be aware what's possible, +but also be able to quickly filter by what's relevant for them. + +Milestones +-- + +## Name + +Come up with a catch name for the project. + +Tasks: +- Suggest names +- Pick a name + +## Website + +Have a teaser page for the project and register a domain. + +Tasks: +- Register a domain +- Design Website Content +- Launch website + +## Finding contributors + +To make sure that we are not documenting our current conferences only, we should find additional contributors. + +Tasks: +- Find additional writers +- Find website contributors of all kinds + +## Finding users + +To make sure that our content is helpful, we need to find first users. + +Tasks: +- Find a first user to collect feedback \ No newline at end of file
