Some weekend silliness...

Some of you may have come across http://xkcd.com/1133/ that describes
the Saturn 5 launcher with only the 10,000 most popular words in US
English.

Theo Sanderson had the awesome idea of making a text editor that
encouraged you to describe any idea with the same limitations.

So here's my attempt at the Agile Manifesto using the ten hundred most
used words:

http://is.gd/Mnl0zN

Can you do better?

Anybody want to have a go at the principles ;-)

Cheers,

Adrian

Fun stuff. Here's my attempt:

It turns out that "computer" is in the list, that makes things easier.

Cheers,
Laurent

Adrian, thanks for starting this.  Fun morning distraction

I was surprised to find conversation in the list with all other words that are
missing.

Here is mine:

:)

It is fun.

One quibble. We chose "over" quite carefully. "Rather than" implies more
"instead of". Recall that "over" represents a preference but not a strict
prohibition against the things on the right.
