Re: F-Spot mission statement

["John Stowers" <john stowers lists gmail com>]

I generally do not see too much value in detailed mission statements.
A mission statement should be a direction and should not contain
specific testable goals. If they are specific and testable goals then
they should be moved into an implementation plan or roadmap!

Furthurmore because of this abstract nature of a mission statement it
should be concise, and short, able to be remembered and kept in mind
at all times. My favourite feature of a mission statement is that it
should be used to settle disagreements about what features belong in
the application.

Here is my mission statement....

F-spot is a free and open photo management application designed to let
you easily view, organize and share your photos with friends and
family.
