Some changes have been made based on comments on the discussion page[1]. If
there are no more comments, I'll call for a vote sometime next week.

Short was definitely an important goal. I don't think there's much use having a
long and waffling statement no one will take in.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't think this should be a cold statement, I
wanted to try to speak directly to the person reading it, so it was a
deliberate choice. Also, have a look at the Wiki Style Guide[2]. We
specifically say that second person plural should be used when referring to the
Habari Community.
