Tom,
Yes, if we can come to a reasonable consensus on a Mission Statement I will move it into the TIP Process. The goal is to hash things out in the discussion forums not in the TIP Forum.
I hope we can take some of Alfred's text and combine it with the existing What is OpenACS page. I believe the OCT has decided we don't need a TIP for every text change to the website and its under ETP so we can always revert if we need to. I will announce any changes here on this thread.
I'd love help writng/editing on both the Mission Statement and the What is OpenACS page.
Thanks
Caroline
