The vision statement of the Wikimedia Foundation describes our dreams, hopes and ambitions; our most radical conception of our organization and community — 20, 50, 100 years from today. It stands in contrast to the mission statement, which aims to be a more realistic description of the status quo. Our current vision statement is:

Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment.

Proposals to change the statement should be made at m:Vision/Unstable and all proposals will be reviewed at least annually.

Past visions considered, or at least proposed, can be reviewed at visions. Before posting at m:Vision/Unstable, review those. A good vision abstracts many best cases, helps identify and avoid threats to the project, and helps those who are trying to avoid worst cases.
