My comment regarding this vision is that it is more of a mission statement.
I like that it focuses on the meta-aspects of Sugar Labs -- what our
members can do -- as well as the end product, the Sugar learning platform.
But it doesn't convey to me an explicit vision for software, education,
children, etc.

regards.
