[Desktop_architects] draft documents out of the communmity cooperation sessions

[Tom Welch]

Good first "stab" at this Aaron.  However we should give more specifics 
(if possible) in all three statements.   For example, let's be specific 
on a few of the problems that we are trying to solve.  When we say we 
are trying to solve problems that are common between projects that does 
not necessarily give one the idea of what those problems are and how 
what we are doing will help.  If we give a few examples it will help 
people catch the vision and enlist more help.  Ideas could be:

    * Common desktop file format / location
    * Common file / mimetype handling.
    * Consistent menu structure

The idea here is not to list all of the items we will be addressing but 
to give people a flavor of what will come.
