Here is my synthesis of Dave, Bart and Bruce's rewrites. Thanks. I definitely agree my last draft had way too many buzz words.
OpenACS Community Mission Statement We are a vibrant and supportive global community that cooperatively builds Open Architecture Community System, free and open source software for dynamic web sites.

The OpenACS toolkit is a localizable base of reusable modules with an emphasis enhancing collaboration, communication and knowledge transfer. It is scalable, stable, secure, and freely available under the GPL

We eagerly support subprojects with innovative development that serve new and specialized uses and markets.

Tom, I think your comments are good but perhaps we need to address those questions in a larger document. It seems like to much for a mission statement. I'm going to ask my nonprofit community friends for thier opinions too.

Thanks all
