OK... except that Erik specifically stated that these mission and vision statements would be the things cited in explaining why WMF would or would not support WikiFoo.
Only in a very broad and general way. We want to be careful not to exclude too much a priori. But I am personally very much in favor of using the word "Knowledge" in the Mission & Vision statements, because it is, depending on how we interpret it (and we can argue for an interpretation based on the existing projects), already a fairly good limitation of scope. Florence has now objected to this word in the unstable Mission Statement and replaced it with "content". I still haven't seen an adequate explanation why "knowledge" should not be used.
