+<h3>Mission</h3>
+
+<p>What is the goal of this project?
+</p>
+
+<p>What is the scope of this project?
+</p>
+
+<p>For example:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Develop just enough functionality to scratch a particular itch</li>
+<li>Build a tool just like XYZ, but less broken</li>
+<li>Build the best XYZ-tool ever!</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>What are high-level features you are sure to build?
+</p>
+<ul>
+
+<li>What would you write on a billboard about your project? Users
+might only look for a few seconds.</li>
+
+<li>Use the issue tracker to track features and enhancement
+requests. It is not just for bugs, pre-populate it with feature
+descriptions so that potential contributors know what you would like them
+to work on.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>What are the high-level assumptions or ground rules for the project?
+</p>
+
+<p>For example:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li> we will use programming language X on operating system Y for now.
+
+<li>We will, or will not, consider certain functional areas like
+internationalization, high security, concurrency, etc. The list of
+functional areas will depend on what you are trying to do.
+
+<li>Try to keep this part short.
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3>Related resources</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Link to other stuff that you know about. It will help you
+research requirements and provide a useful resource to potential
+contributors.</li>
+
+<li>Why reinvent the wheel? What is better about this wheel? Is there
+any existing project that you can partner with or reuse?</li>
+
+<li>Where would you go to try to find potential contibutors?</li>
+</ul>
