There are several things to distinguish:
The point is that it is tried to get a global view on the GGF
roadmap in terms of standards and documents.
Currently, it is very difficult to see what is in the works
right now and what milestones are upcoming.
The request by Joel Repogle to group chairs was mainly to fill a
new kind of milestone/group database. The global picture of GGF activities.
This does not necessarily imply to change anything to the current
roadmap of groups.
However, this is obviously a very good occasion to update
the actual group roadmap.

The tasks in GridForge are a tool to keep track of our
activities. Here, we can have an arbitrary number of items
to facilitate our group work. However, major activities and milestones
should be "tasks" in GridForge too. That is at least my understanding.

Did this clarify anything?
