Re: A vision statement

If you look at the first post in the thread they are listed beside each other. I think they are pretty different - vision is where we want the world to be 5-10 years from now.

Perhaps I'm being ignorant here; it seems to me that we are just
re-wording our mission statement
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/About#Our_Mission) into something else
and calling it a Vision.

Is there someplace where we have clearly articulated what the
difference between these two things should be? Or are they one and the
same? It seems as though some of us want to develop a Mission / Vision
for Fedora the Project; others want to have a Mission / Vision for
Fedora the Product.  I think it would be wise to have an agreement /
definition for what we are trying to define in making either
statement.
