For reference, the existing mission statement:


"
By building on relevant standards and open source technologies, Drupal
supports and enhances the potential of the Internet as a medium where
diverse and geographically-separated individuals and groups can
collectively produce, discuss, and share information and ideas. With a
central interest in and focus on communities and collaboration, Drupal's
flexibility allows the collaborative production of online information
systems and communities.

Charlie Lowe raised a great idea to clarify the existing mission
statement [1] to help people better understand the "Drupal philosophy."


I've created an issue for this here because issues tend to be where we
do most of our "back and forth," and also so it will hopefully get some
attention from developers, too.
