Quality

 * Maintain the WP:5 Pillars of Wikipedia. Balance mostly this versus some of the popular demand.
 * Define a computer-based WikiProject's role without violating WP:NOT. Standardize the provisioning of product spec sheets, version histories, manuals and howtos, and popular references that may be very useful but otherwise missing from or disorganized on the Web. But without becoming WP:NOTMANUAL WP:NOTHOWTO WP:NOTCHANGELOG.
 * Define our list of WP:RS like WP:VGRS.
 * Style guide
 * MOS:PRESENT WP:COMPNOW Everything should be stated in the present tense whenever possible. The main problem is that capitalistic market forces dictate current events but not what is the actual present. For example, we don't say "The Apple II was a computer made by Apple." because when and how and why did it ever stop being a computer, and what else did it then become other than a computer? A cursed frog? We say "The Apple II is a computer that was made by Apple."
 * Computer hardware
 * Maintain overall quality. Respond to Good reassessments, with a comment of acknowledgement and seeking volunteers.
 * Abuse
 * Content patrol. Identify articles that tend to attract controversy, inaccuracy, vandalism, WP:POV, WP:FANCRUFT, WP:TRIVIA, and otherwise low quality content. Products that are extremely popular, market failures, or obsolete. Criticism of Apple Inc.
 * Countervandalism. Check in with the WP:CVU and maintain training and standards. Promote that in the newsletter.

Community

 * Maintain relations with other WikiProjects. Computer related projects: Computing (parent), Technology, Software, Hardware, Apps, Internet, Video games. Wikipedia related projects: Wikipedia 1.0. Maintain communication, maintain parity in standards and quality. Actively innovate on the definition of inter-project collaboration. Maintain a watchlist on all their steering documents.
 * Maintain a mass messaging system, compliant with all Wikipedia standards of quality and antispam. Create a welcome message for new subscribers. Create a subscriber list maintenance system, with a blacklist (unsubscribed and otherwise undesirable).
 * Newsletter. Look at past newsletters of this and other projects, for ideas. Show the basic overview graphs and dashboard of activity of viewership, editorship, and new articles. Invite editors to orientation at WP:CVU and WP:RS.
 * Member orientation. New member orientation, experienced member reorientation. See other Wikiprojects. Can we have a pledge for new members? "I agree to uphold the core values of Wikipedia. I agree to be a good steward of Wikipedia as a priceless resource for the public benefit. I agree Wikipedia is not a WP:BATTLEGROUND or WP:SOAPBOX or WP:OWNERSHIP. I agree to WP:AGF, to maintain collegiate behavior, to take issues to Talk or to arbitration instead of edit warring. I agree to make thoughtful and quality edits with WP:RS and WP:NPOV, worthy of permanent public display or maybe even print." Some of WP:APPLE's articles are considered essential to modern life, and should be handled as professional content.
 * List of standard tools for common.js: MOSNUM dates,  Rater
 * Create more barnstars and achievements. Apple II, Newton, Legacy Macintosh, Apple lore.
 * Graphs and stats.
 * The most actively viewed and edited articles in the last day, week, month, and 12 monthly months.
