Hmm. Assessing each of the options in turn:
Yeah, I'd like to, but we haven't got enough PP, so we can't do it. Nuh uh.
I suppose we might as well. Start recruiting early. Hopefully we can have them trained up to a reasonable standard by the time we need them for anything.
When you say "Introduce a new Battlemaster" or "a new Jedi Caretaker of Knowledge", I'm assuming we would have to appoint one of the Jedi we've already got as members of the Jedi Council to each of those roles. (I'm assuming we can't appoint either Bastila or Juhani because they're not on the list of members of the Jedi Order.
I suppose Visas Marr would be a good Battlemaster, maybe? Mical could be a Jedi Caretaker of Knowledge. But is there a pressing need to introduce either of these new roles right now?
EDIT: Immediately below this post, Voikirium says that having a Jedi Caretaker of Knowledge would enable us to study the holocrons we've found so far. In that case, I think we should go for it.
I think that would be useful. And it's not particularly expensive. Let's go for it.
I think this would be a good move in terms of gaining legitimacy and spreading the word across the galaxy know that the Jedi are back.
Yeah, I want to. It might be useful as a secret base we could fall back to in an emergency, assuming that it hasn't been too badly tainted by Atris's Sith holocrons.
Again, this could be a good move, prove our worth to the Republic and spread word that the Jedi are back.
Maybe later, but I can't see the point of doing this right now. Better to do it later on, when we've recruited more Jedi and need some more space.
I want to do this eventually, but right now it would cost too much. Besides, we know where the Jedi Artefacts are. It's not like they're in danger of being sold off somewhere else (at least, I assume not). It's probably safe to leave them where they are until we've got time and enough PP to be able to deal with them.
So...
Keeping all that in mind, this is my plan:
[] Plan-dagnac
-[] Recruitment Drive-- Recruit 2d5 Initiates (30 PP)
-[] Introduce a new Jedi Caretaker of Knowledge (40 PP)
-[] Request Republic aid rebuilding Dantooine. (20 PP)
-[] Send a Jedi with a Republic archeological expedition(15 PP)
-[] Search the Telos Academy (50 PP)
-[] Agree to supplement Republic patrols in the Colonies (+5 PP, Gain Colonies Patrol Route)
EDIT: I've just realised that after I added the "Introduce a new Jedi Caretaker of Knowledge" option, my plan was exactly the same as Random Member's. Therefore:

The Caretaker Of Knowledge will allow you to start in-depth study of the holocrons you've found. Might be nice.

I think recruitment is a waste of points; we're picking up enough initiates fast enough from missions that we'll quickly max out how many padawans we can train under the one student per teacher policy.
I also think appointing a battlemaster is way premature. They won't be useful to us until a major conflict arises. A caretaker of knowledge can probably help us immediately with research, though, and Mical is an obvious strong candidate.
I'm in favor of choices that improve our capabilities without spending a boatload and save up for big expenditures like the Coruscant Temple and getting back artifacts. I considered the colony ship, but I think it can wait. I also considered taking on the additional patrol route, but I'd like to get one or two more Jedi before we spread ourselves out that much. There would be a risk of bad mission results otherwise, I suspect, and we really can't afford to lose any Jedi in combat right now.

-[X] Introduce a new Jedi Caretaker of Knowledge (40 PP)
-[X] Request Republic aid rebuilding Dantooine. (20 PP)
-[X] Search the Telos Academy (50 PP)
This plan spends 110 PP, leaving 65 PP to help with a big expenditure next year. That will probably enable us to grab the Coruscant Temple, which will solve any crowding problems we have for quite a while.

Ah. Good point, well made.
All right, then:

Uh, I just realised that you've already answered that question in your last post:
Obviously, I didn't read your post as well as I should have. Ignore my last question (which I've just crossed out), please.

Um, @Voikirium? What's going on with Datoooine's progress? This is from 3950 BBY summary.
And this is from 3949 Q3.
Shouldn't we have completed it by now?

It's made the leap to Praxeum, but you can expand it all the way to a proper Temple.

Yep.
Also, two things I feel like you should all know that I forgot to say:
1. I do Omake rewards
2. I edited the Ossus mission, because I realized I forgot to include part of the reward.

No worries. I'm not totally against the new patrol route, since we'll probably pull in more resources covering more routes, but I'm erring on the side of caution. Especially if our new Caretaker's duties take them off of patrols (not sure how the QM will handle that) and/or we leave one Jedi to protect Dantooine we might be pulled a little thin.
By the way, I may have missed the QM post that explained how population limits worked; could anyone fill me in or throw me a link?

Caretaker can't be deployed, no. Sort of busy, you know, studying, learning. all of that.
As for population, it's pretty simple-- each enclave/praxeum/temple/etc. can support a certain number of Jedi full time, who if not deployed will react to events in the area where they are supported.

Thank you for the clarification! It sounds like we don't have to worry about overcrowding any time soon, then.
I suppose the Caretaker would double as someone to keep an eye on wherever they're stationed in case of trouble.

Given a Battlemaster also covers lightsaber instruction, I think conflict or no, they'd be good to have in the longrun, just not as essential as a caretaker. Flatly, we don't need Coruscant any time soon unless we get an initiate explosion - a better thing to save for would be asking Dantooine for the Jedi stuff back. It's a waste to try for Coruscant now after putting so much into Dantooine. I don't think recruitment is essential, but there's not a lot of point coming up with another splinter plan atm, so...
[x] Plan: Gaining Legitimacy
Caretaker, Battlemater, Telos, fixing up Dantooine - it's got all the stuff I want, and I'd rather keep the PP from the initiates, but as said it's a bit late in the day to try and split the vote.
I'll leave this plan for if anybody does want to vote for it, and if it picks up then I'll switch:
[] Plan: Foundations
-[] Introduce a new Battlemaster, to coordinate with the Republic Army and Navy in case of War (40 PP)
-[] Introduce a new Jedi Caretaker of Knowledge (40 PP)
-[] Search the Telos Academy (50 PP)
-[] Agree to supplement Republic patrols in the Colonies (+5 PP, Gain Colonies Patrol Route)
-[] Request Republic aid rebuilding Dantooine. (20 PP)
