I'm thinking this was a good idea, but we didn't get to a conclusion on 
which fits us best. People focused on what was incorrect in various so I am 
wondering if we can pick one that people don't object to :)

The mission statement is a useful thing to help give some direction and let 
the world show we have a direction for our suite. Its useful to point to 
when someone asks if we are just here to destroy Microsoft or other silly 
questions. And last, its useful for us. Ideally we all agree on the 
direction we are walking in since if everyone is walking in the same 
direction we get there much faster. This also shows it should not be too 
detailed ;)

How does the above one sound to people?
