Regarding mission, I just stumbled upon this:
The openSUSE project is a worldwide effort that promotes the use of Linux everywhere. openSUSE creates one of the world's best Linux distributions, working together in an open, transparent and friendly manner as part of the worldwide Free and Open Source Software community.
Which is a shortened version of the "We are" paragraph from the guiding principles. The guiding principles already contain all the mission statements we need i think. I fail to see why we need something else.
These things say nothing other than that we're a community making a Linux distribution. No useful information for anyone.
Well not useful if you already know that no. But if you don't its a pretty good description of who we are...
We really, really, really, really, really need something short and precise which tells users and contributors (potential and existing) alike, *exactly* what we're trying to do and what makes openSUSE different than the gazillion other distros out there.
I agree but this is something completely different and we were already on track with that. What happened? Why we are engaging in mission statements for the project now? Looks like ADD to me...
