Changes

I have been following ROS for a while now and I see a few issues that
need to be solved before it can grow.

1.	Setup a PR group: This group will advertise, recruit and get
supporters.  It will be the job to spread word of ros, they will first
attempt to recruit developers until a time that ros is out of alpha
and can be use for daily use. They will also look for funding for ros
by contacting possible donators. This group will need to be tiered so
that we can organize what we need to do and when and have the leg
workers able to carry it out.

2.	Delegation / authority: We need to setup a bit of authority
especially when it comes to the PR group. These people will be able to
delegate time sensitive/ priority jobs to personal and have a way of
communication between PR and Devs.

3.	Website: The website needs to be updated (Which I have been told is
in the works) The PR’s first goal should be finding some people able
to manage that. They will need to have a template of what has
currently been done and a design of what needs to be completed.

4.	Project Information for new devs: We need to update the list of
things that are “TODO” , the best list I have seen for something like
this is... http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011_Ideas
 This will give developers who check out the project a clear goal that
they might want to pick up. This can be bundled with the way GSoC has
a mentor program and have available mentors if someone needed more
guidance.
