[Red5] Project Goals / Mission Statement.

[John Grden]

This is excellent and a great move forward Luke! Thanks for taking your time
like this - you are the man of the hour right now!

I look forward to seeing the revision and getting our mission out there for
everyone to embrace ;) I think this will most likely set a trend for the
other OSFlasher's to follow with defining thier project's scope and intent.

Tanks!
