I wanted to make it a little more clear, with less buzzwords. I didn't take them all out.

Dave's Draft
Mission Statement

We are a vibrant and supportive global community that cooperatively develops and implements the OpenACS platform of free and open source software for dynamic web sites.

We build software that can be used enhance collaboration, communication, community and knowledge transfer. We are collaboratively creating a community-oriented, internationalized base of reusable modules and a scalable and stable core that are freely available under the GPL.

Not sure what to do with this:

We see OpenACS as a foundation for innovation and thus support subprojects that are specialized by market or functionally.

I think the phrase "We build software" is important.
