[Trying to steer discussion back to the purpose] Yes. Re-reading Dwight's
proposal, it has a lot of means and isn't too clear about the purpose. Yours:
> "To assist the evolution of a individual and group empowering
> transparent open-source ubiquitous computing platform starting from
> the initial Squeak code base"
comes closer to a purpose but I have problems reading it - everything between
"individual" and "computing" is one big adjective to "platform", and that
strings consist of a number of words heavily contaminated by marketing guys.
But I like the one-sentence formulation. Am I the only one having problems
with the words "empowering", "transparent", "ubiquitous" appearing in one
sentence? Is there an alternative that's as open-ended?
