While I think I understand what you're looking for and don't find (yet)
in the vision/mission, I'm thinking similar to Sebastian (I think ;-)).

For me a grand vision for KDE as a whole is just not all that
interesting, I'm much more interested in what Plasma,
Zanshin, KWin, KDevelop, .... are trying to achieve and how they're
going about that. Perhaps I then also don't care so much in the end
whether a project is coming from KDE or not, which I personally find
good, but others may have different opinions.

I think it's also much more useful for people to engage with a specific
project than just having this large unspecific thing that they then have
to dissect to find something tangible to work on. Speaking of that,
since the rebranding effort KDE is anyways standing for the community as
far as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), and I don't see how we
can have a vision or mission for a community.

Sooo, perhaps you are just looking for something different than a very
generic and broad guideline to establish some common values =)

Cheers,
Christian
