Boy! That's a big one. I'll offer this: Advancing the state of the art in the tradition of BSD while maintaining a reasonable balance between concerns of portability and performance. At this point in time, I'm not as concerned about mainstream acceptance of FreeBSD as some people seem to be. That time will come... Although I would prefer that -core avoid social and political agendas, it's not a stretch to imagine that the emergence of free and open systems such as FreeBSD will have a lasting and important effect on our education processes and perhaps even our governments.
