Mission #1

Open dsernst opened 10 years ago

dsernst commented 10 years ago

Been ruminating on this and now feeling like https://github.com/LetsFix/letsfixdotnet/blob/master/mission.md should be something real short and sweet. Like a single line. Unlike what is going on now. cec102b12adf4bb62d30966dbe48102b247e5be4 too complicated

What about something more like "Letsfix exists to improve the world around us."

dsernst commented 10 years ago

And all the things we have listed now are still valid, no need to throw them out. But maybe they could be moved into some sort of goals? (Opening questions of semantics about 'mission' vs. 'goals')

aneeqa8952 commented 10 years ago

I was thinking along similar lines. What we have now can be renamed into 'Manifesto' (?), or something of that sorts.

The mission should be a mission 'statement'

suggestion...

"Letsfix - a problem solving collective"

dsernst commented 10 years ago

Totally!

This is what I came up with tonight:

MISSION

We want to live together, better, & make it as easy as possible to fix the problems we share. The Letsfix network exists to identify issues, collect our options, and coordinate the effort needed to resolve. Anyone can join, and everyone is welcome.

Comments from Loren R re this version: "I like it. I'm not sure how I feel about 'collect'. Not sure if that's the right word. Gather? Discuss? Discuss might be too passive."

"better is vague. Better than what?"

"Coordinate the effort need to resolve... Resolve what? Don't think you can just end it there."

Revising together we came up with this:

We want to live together, better. The Letsfix network is a community and process that identifies issues, gathers options, and coordinates the effort needed to resolve our problems. Anyone can join, and everyone is welcome.

Revisiting this a bit:

We want to make it as easy as possible to solve the problems around us.

dsernst commented 10 years ago

Still looking to simplify...

Our mission is to empower the individual problem solver.

Or as a whole:

We want to live together, better. Our mission is to empower the individual problem solver. The Letsfix network is a community and process that identifies issues, gathers options, and coordinates effort to resolve the challenges we face. Anyone can join, and everyone is welcome.
