The Project itself is more than just a distribution and our objectives ought to reflect that. The work that occurs around the objectives of building free-culture communities and identifying and documenting best practices is just as important. If needed, each of these objectives could be broken out in separate pages with some of the aspects of the objective listed in detail. That might make those purposes easier to grasp for someone trying to understand what the Fedora Project aims to do. -- Paul W.
