yes the manifesto is some thing wich will set the tone of this project. by the way, even I feel that instead of getting into what is called as analysis paralysis, we just kick off the project with the kiss (Keep It Simple Stupid) mission statement just like what jtd suggested on another thread and keep provisions for advance ideas from the start although not going for those ideas right now. this should be the base for our manifesto.
