Mission statement questions

[Karsten Wade]

We have a mission as a sub-project:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_mission_statement

  The mission of the Fedora Documentation Project is to provide
  documentation to users and developers to improve the overall usage
  of Fedora. We do that by explaining the usage of certain pieces of
  software or systems, provide written accounts of special events
  (releases, etc), and provide recommendations on setting of software
  or systems (security, performance, etc).

At a few reads, I don't really recognize any of the content.  It has a
few sentences that introduce newer ideas than I recall being in
there.  One is welcome in my mind (special events), one is an odd duck
(provide recommendations).

Also, some content is missing that I recall from before.  The gist
was, the project has a goal to produce 100% FLOSS content, tools, and
processes.  This goal fits in to the overall Fedora Project objective
of being entirely rebuildable from source.

Anyone know the history of the transition of the mission content?  Was
this discussed and I missed it?

Otherwise, I'd like to discuss this mission statement.

I posted some questions on these right here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Docs_Project_mission_statement

With a recommendation for an update here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Docs_Project_mission_statement#Recommendation_for_a_new_mission_statement

Your thoughts are appreciated.  It's _our_ mission, after all.
