Um, that's a mission statement, not a vision. A vision is a series of |
| 12 |
goals for a project, like "my vision is that we will produce knoppix |
| 13 |
like catalyst+template releases for myth, firewalls-on-a-disk, etc by |
| 14 |
the 2007.0 release." a mission statement is "we'll make the best from |
| 15 |
source distro ever." i.e, mission statements never change because they |
| 16 |
are just an overarching definition of a project, not the vision or goal |
| 17 |
it might be working towards at the moment. |
