You're not on the board just yet and I welcome a sense of direction from you. :)

Thanks for the clarification. We've talked about children using Squeak
during last year but it's not a good demographic. They're not going to
get involved in developing Squeak itself before another, say, 15
years. My opinion is that the target audience should be Squeak
developers and the rest will naturally follow in due time.

I understand your point. I am very much for a documentation team. It
wouldn't hurt to have a more specific plan/direction from you, even if
it does not include concrete solutions.
