We need to work on defining our mission. There are a bunch of questions to resolve about particular scope boundaries. (The first is on [language questions](https://judaism.codidact.com/q/276383), and more should come.), and we also need to come up with an overarching understanding of what our community is trying to accomplish. I think we can work on these particular and general efforts in parallel, with any consensus we build about overall mission informing the discussions about particular scope-boundaries and any consensus we build about specific inclusions or exclusions helping shape our understanding of what we're trying to build, in general.
So: What are we trying to do here? Are we building a library of expert documentation, a collection of experts, a forum for people with shared interests, or perhaps a community in which people can make friends with others who come from a similar cultural background? What is the common theme - expertise/interest/culture that we're building around?
Complete these sentences:
> You should visit Judaism.Codidact if you want _____.
> You should hang around Judaism.Codidact if you want _____.
See if you can answer these questions *without* making a laundry list of inclusions and exclusions. As I said above, we'll do those in other posts.
This question is similar to, but not the same as, the question Monica [already posted](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276366) about our tagline. That's about summing up the point of the community/site very succinctly and accessibly. I think it could be a great deal easier to do that if we work out a consensus here in more expansive terms. Similarly, some of the aspirations collected in response to [this question](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276734) by Kazi bácsi can help inspire and shape answers here.
