It's looking good already. I think it would be good also to mention the
end-recipients of the consistent and pragmatic RESTful design so that
whoever reads the mission is reminded why that's important. Something
like:
To improve developer experience converging the OpenStack API to
a consistent and pragmatic RESTful design. The working group
creates guidelines that all OpenStack projects should follow,
avoids introducing backwards incompatible changes in existing
APIs and promotes convergence of new APIs and future versions of
existing APIs.
more or less...
