Yes, @Simon, you have just said the words I wanted to say in so many words...Mission, Vision, where are we headed? What are the goals? I can tell you something, I am not happy at where I am in life today, I call myself a pioneer in the Kenyan web industry yet I failed to plan some things and I have been overtaken by my own students...while that is a good thing to see students prosper, it should also have earned me some place...I believe we need to do that before some millionaire comes and buys off skunkworks from I dont know who...by the way, I still need to know who runs skunkworks, last time I checked, @Aki denied big time having anything to do with the running, yet he is the one campaigning for the funds...

All am saying is that we have a good thing, we need to be clear on the direction we are taking it...

David.

I've also made my pledge, but can't help thinking abt such things as
vision and mission. I really do think we need to have a well
thought-out long-term plan if we are to start venturing into such
matters as these.

Hope this statement is taken positively
