Coming back to this (got very saddened and distracted by the Connecticut news...) We can certainly pause and hammer out a different description. It's primary purpose is not to restrict or obligate, but in more practical terms is really to let the board know what we do. It's included at the top of each board report. With 100+ projects and growing, we just need to put on a pretend board member hat and think "what description is going to help me understand the report I'm about to read." We can of course go off and innovate in all sorts of directions. If one of those directions becomes a major focus of the project and starts to monopolize the bulk of our reports, we just need to course correct (what we're doing now) and make sure our project description matches what we produce and users consume. -David
