I don't have a problem injecting a bit of humor. Software should be, besides all the other boring requirements, also fun to use, enjoyable, something you look forward to on a Monday morning. It should also have a philosophy, and a good charter would focus on what the software is, rather than what it does. BTW right now Buildr's tagline is "a build system that doesn't suck".
