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. 2009/10/30 Realpolitik <[email protected]>: > > I would go with some rewording ("Habari community" is singular, avoid > using "you" and "we," stuff like that).

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.
