I believe Sugar is intended to enable a computer to provide enhanced
educational opportunities; especially to those who have limited access to
the Internet. One goal of Sugar is to bring to reality the educational
concepts of Seymour Papert and Alan Kay.

Hi
I understood that the one-liner statement is a 'mission statement,'
and the 'vision statement' is the longer text that expresses the
details implied by the mission, the high level goals, and more
specific values.
The article you mention,
https://www.executestrategy.net/blog/write-good-vision-statement , has
a good 'funnel' diagram showing this, with blocks for "values."
Here's a nice list of non profit mission statements:
https://topnonprofits.com/examples/nonprofit-mission-statements/
So I propose to adopt the following statement as the mission
statement, starting from your text and taking Sean's comments into
account:
To be a welcoming global community where anyone can learn how to
develop high-quality libre software that facilitates learning through
self-discovery and collaboration among young children of all
continents, and to make that software easily available to learners and
teachers.
Cheers
Dave
