I started with an initial draft:

Please feel free to comment, add, remove and change. It should reamin
short and to the point though.

>> Brutal truth: right now we suck because not only don't have one statment, we have like 3 to 6 rotating statments which, I'm sorry to the one who created it, comunication skill sucks or it's a genious if the goal is to succeed in confusing people about what the product is about.
