You are correct that we are not the *only* source of documentation.
Perhaps then the sample vision statement should change the words
"authoritative source" to "premier source" or something similar. The
idea being that we want to be a highly respected supplier of
documentation. We strive to be "the best."
With these changes we sould have the following vision statement:
The Linux Documentation Project will be recognized as the premier source
for Linux documentation.
