# Urbit Foundation
> Plans are worthless, but planning is indispensible. - Dwight D. Eisenhower
This repository contains the Urbit Foundation's goals and plans for achieving
them.
We make plans as a team around the start of each quarter that are guided by a
longer-term vision, which is aligned with our [mission](mission.md).
The contents of this repository are first and foremost for [our team](team.md)
to organize our thinking and ensure that we're all clear on what we're trying to
achieve. We've made the repository public as an experiment: what happens if we
make our efforts known? We think it might result in serendipitous opportunities
and decrease our communication overhead. It's also a great accountability
mechanism.
Since we're a new organization working towards the public good of Urbit and its ongoing
development, perhaps we, too, should try working in public.
## 2022
You can read about our [vision for 2022 here](2022/vision.md). The idea is to
depict where we'd like to be at the end of the year, and then, working backwards, see what projects and efforts can get us to our goals.
### Q1
- [Get the pedagogy right](2022/q1/dx-pedagogy.md): To get the pedagogy right, a
comprehensive plan must be made. We'll start by going into research mode: both
theoretical and applied.
- [Improve the front-end developer experience](2022/q1/dx-frontend.md):
Developers should be able to learn full-stack Urbit development by completing
Hoon School, the Gall Guide and a new front-end integration guide. It should
also be possible for front-end developers to get started without learning any
Hoon.
- [Facilitate widespread Gall agent documentation](2022/q1/dx-agent-docs.md):
Gall agents need to be documented, but it's not feasible to centralize all
agent documentation, much of which is produced by third parties, on the
urbit.org website.
- [Develop a strong public image](2022/q1/comms-public-image.md): Develop a
clear brand for the Urbit Foundation and share its mission to a broader
audience through cohesive communications, strong community building, and
impactful creative projects.
- [Make Urbit a destination for building new
organizations](2022/q1/combine-destination.md): We believe that Urbit can be a
great home for people who want to build things together. We're developing
high-leverage ways to bring these groups onto Urbit and help them thrive.
- [Bootstrap community engagement in
grants](2022/q1/grants-community-engagement.md): Getting our contributor
community more closely involved in the grants program creates a virtuous cycle for contributors, organizations, and the Urbit Foundation.
- [Facilitate better coordination across the
Universe](2022/q1/exec-better-coordination.md): Urbit is now depended upon by
several organizations and communities, many of whom are also stepping up to take
more responsibility for Urbit. These entities need better ways of working
together.
- [Foster a healthy market for Urbit address
space](2022/q1/exec-healthy-market.md): The market for Urbit address space is
what enables us to work on Urbit in the first place, and it needs attention.
- [Set the Foundation up for sound governance and
administration](2022/q1/exec-sound-operations.md): There's a lot of
operational work to do when setting up a new company, and we plan to be
operationally excellent.
