[IAEP] Doc for Making Mission Statement and Stated Goals

[Chris Leonard]

 FWIW, I added a fifth goal (proposal).

In order to reach globally, it is a key principle that Sugar and
related software be developed with “internationalization” (i18n)
capabilities built in from the onset, thereby allowing translation of
the user interface into many languages by our diverse  “localization”
(L10n) community.  Lack of i18n = inability to share.
