personally, i think we're pretty clear about the value add and i would
prefer to not have to say "OGPX is not about things that didn't get
done in MMOX."

but, if you're unclear after reading the draft charter and the intro

what verbiage would you recommend to make it more clear that OGPX is not MMOX?
