Tweak Google's mission?

Google has an awesome mission statement:

"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Organizing information and making it accessible

Its hard not to feel inspired by this. What a valuable gift to the world! But I think it could be even better. Because this mission statement only kicks in after ideas have been written down, as “information”.

Capturing ideas, organizing information and making it accessible

  • What if we could help capture all good ideas?
  • What if we could help everyone to explain their best ideas clearly and concisely, in a form that can be easily shared and understood?
This is the mission of The Good Docs Project: 
"Create best practice templates and process for open source software."

If combined, Google’s mission could become even better:
"Organize all the world's information ideas and make them universally accessible and useful."
